Popular Nigerian Afrobeat star, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu known as Burna Boy has sparked huge speculations in the media about his coming album titled ‘Love, Damini.’
The African Giant as he is fondly called was on ‘The Daily Show’ with South African comedian Trevor Noah and when asked about the album release, Burna Boy gave a hint of the day of the release.
Not everybody knows how to get the media talking, but Burna Boy definitely knows how to spark a light in the media whenever he wants to, as a lot of speculations have been going on since he made the statement at the show.
“I’ll give you a hint. It’s gonna come out on a day everyone celebrates for themself when it’s their own day.”
Since this indirectly means someone’s birthday, the media has gone off since, many saying it categorically that Burna Boy would be releasing his album on his birthday.
On this WN Picks, we will be looking at the ifs and if not.
What If?
Like everyone has concluded, if truly Burna Boy would be going by the day hinted in his statement, we could be looking at getting ‘Love, Damini’ on the 2nd of July, 2022.
Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu popularly known as Burna Boy was born on 2 July 1991 and as an accomplished artist and a person generally, we don’t see why not he can’t release his album that day.
For us at least, it’s a classy way to celebrate his birthday and he would be giving his fans all over the world the best birthday gift, as the album is well anticipated following the release of his last album in 2020 that earned him a Grammys Award.
If the ‘day everyone celebrates for themself’ means his birthday for Burna Boy, we have about three months to experience the masterpiece he has been working on.
What If Not?
Burna Boy knows how to get the media talking whenever he wants it. If there is one artist who knows how to break the internet, it is him.
Let’s talk about the time he called out the organizers of Coachella for printing his name in small letters and asked for a correction. Or when he corrected Forbes for publishing an ‘inaccurate figure’ of his net worth. Or when he stated that he was leaving all social media platforms finally.
What If the hint on his forthcoming album release is just him having fun as usual as against the widely speculated date everyone has been spreading around?
Guess we will find out eventually.
Conclusion
Burna Boy is a different breed. The type you cannot easily predict, which is why we don’t have all our hopes up high on a July 2nd release for the ‘Love, Damini’ album.
