Fela Status Is Not By Mouth – Nigerians Attack Burna Boy

Burna Boy has been criticized by Nigerians on social media for rejecting a request to join the RevolutionNow protest.

Former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore had invited Burna to join the protest owing to his comparison with Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

However, Burna Boy turned down the offer, stating that Nigerian politicians cannot be trusted.

His comments stirred reactions and backlash from Nigerians on Twitter.

Some Nigerians called out the ‘African giant’ for making songs about bad governance but refused to join the protest.

Here are some of their comments gathered by NAIJALOADED from Twitter:

“90% of Burna boy’s songs are from Fela, come and protest against bad governance, you’re scared and you claim giant, such an ant you are. You’re forming fake activist on your songs for Grammy, clout chaser.”

@Nefertiti

“ Sowore called on Burna, Burna replied, “I’m not Fela, leave me out of your schemes.Does that mean Burna is only using Fela ‘bodies of work’ for financial gains only?

“Sowore equally called on Don Jazzy & Rude Boy. Did they answer his clarion call? Why are Nigerian celebs so jittery?
