Burna Boy Snubs PSquare As He Lists OG Nigerian Artists
Grammy Award-winning Burna Boy has stirred up social media with a fresh Instagram live session on Wednesday, where he mentioned OG Nigerian artists, and snubbed PSquare.
He mentioned Dban’j, Wande Coal, Timaya, 2Face (who now goes with “2Baba”) and cannot-sing Larry Gaga as the only OGs in the industry to him. He also emphasized that after them, he had no regards for any OG.
Notably, PSquare, arguably the biggest artists of that era, were snubbed by Burna Boy; and this stirred up arguments on social media, especially on X.
Burna Boy showered his OGs with bucketfuls of sweet words, recounting encounters with each of them.
He recalled being blown out of his mind when he went to Timaya’s house and saw big cars in 2013. He shouted out Dban’j for paying for the video of their collaboration (Won Damo) years ago. He praised 2Face for reaching out to collaborate with him that year when he didn’t have to.
Perhaps, PSquare never did anything on a personal ground for Burna Boy while coming up.
Read up Burna’s words below:
“I went to Timaya’s house in 2013 or 2012, I see all the cars and I am like ‘Bro, how long do someone have to sing before he can get all these and build house?’ And he said, ‘Do you know how many upstairs and cars you will have?’ So that’s the nigga that you can say that I’m going to have to respect for the rest of my life.
“There’s nigga like Dbanj. Dbanj actually paid for ‘Won Damo’ video. He didn’t have to, so these are two niggas that I really don’t play with.
“Niggas like Larry Gaga wey be say dem don see one of two real shit, na dem dey with men. They never did those weird ass industry shit. These re niggas that I respect for the rest of my life.
“Like 2face based on musicality and the fact that he came and did a feature with me when he didn’t have to back in the day.”
