From day one I heard burna..omo I was in love with his music..his delivery..I literally told someone then that this guy would go far....but honestly I deleted all his music from my playlist and I stop been a fan the day h said afro beat has no substance.. really a leader u used???? No matter who u become now baba na we for naija love u and push u first o..na we call u best first oo... before u go where ever u are..na so e say he can do without Nigeria abi wat sef...nah that bad man..u crash yan man
When Wiz lost the grammy to Angelique Kidjo, many Nigerians said rightly, he didn't deserve it because Angelique sang about endsars and African struggles and Wiz didn't. My response to those people on Twitter then was, creators cannot be forced to speak about a specific theme, rather, your experiences and realities. Art can be about anything. Heck, a late popular Turkish poet painted a vivid picture with words about fellatio otherwise known as blowjob. People talked, but the guy won awards for it. It is art (in this case, written); your ability to connect, create an experience using words. People should get education.
I love how melody intentionally plays devils advocate to balance the conversation but yoooo playing devil's advocate when there's no hell fire😂😂😂 My Goddddd Excel!!
Please ask Melody how many politically-charged songs Beyonce has dropped. Another thing Melody should remember is that Burna’s greatest hits aren’t politically charged-songs neither do they have “substance.” People in diaspora mostly sing rubbish when singing Burna’s greatest hits because they don’t understand the lyrics (he sang them mostly in pidgin fgs ) and can’t tell if it has “substance” but it connects. Melody, if it connects then it has substance. Period!
Unfortunately many most times donot get it that majority of Afrobeats songs are made like "Bitter Pills coated with SweetVibes" but can easily and quickly feel the "SweetVibes".
My 12 yrs old sis asked me a question on Friday when I was watching the pod on tv, she said why is this man always angry..? "motolani" I told her na burna boy cus am nd e deserve to collect normal normal😂
Even tho I’m a huge Burna fan, I actually feel what Tolani is saying. I wish for Tolani and Burna to have a face to face conversation and start some healing.
I concur with Tolani's sentiment. The homeboy lacks the intellectual capacity to engage in such a discussion. Hollywood often portrays America in a positive light, despite the fact that it falls short of those ideals. They seldom depict stories of individuals enduring homelessness and the struggles faced by the less fortunate on the grand screen. The emphasis seems to be more on presenting themselves as a paradise rather than acknowledging the harsh realities that exist.
Who says “substance” must be politically-charged songs? I understand that Melody wants it to be a conversation, but it is a nuanced one like Tolani said and it shouldn’t be dumbed down to a simpleton-like summary like Burna said on that Apple Music interview. It has to be contextualized. At the end of the day, “substance” is subjective. What you consider substance, I may not give two fucks about. The white people streaming Burna’s songs enmasse, do they give two fucks about the politics in Nigeria? No. But they like them because the songs are properly marketed and they connect with the songs.
Sorry oo..who this young lady please...madam make people share der opinion na..dem go dey talk u go just say wetin!! And cut dem off..no vex o...we talk about it does it mean we should say it outside...ur dey discuss ur family issues for public??kai na young madam
We should first of all define substance, i don’t think substance is all about dope poetic lyrics, the meaning of substance can’t be tied down to a particular set of style or themes. I mean some music don’t even have lyrics and it still connects to people and they enjoy it and feel something. Will you say those kind of music don’t have any substance? Music is too broad for substance to have a definitive meaning. If you wanna sing about politics and suffering, sing.. doesn’t make someone singing about women have less substance, y’all are simply singing about different things and have different form of substance. By the way, it’s easy to start chaos 😂
Why does she want to box artiste to create only what she thinks is right? 😂😂😂Everybody get different realities, if you can't relate to what they create then move on.
But doesn’t it matter if they write or not ? Most of the A-list Artists/superstars in the world don’t write their songs . Most songs over the world doesn’t have substance!!! What’s the meaning of “wap” by cardiB? A lot of modern Artists in USA doesn’t even have meaningful lyrics. So, melody should come with facts and not just talk because she wants to have an opinion.
The substance talk make me tire, like it or not there’s point to burna’s opinion that’s it hursts, he isn’t supposed to say that but he did because he doesn’t care, you too shouldn’t care enough to talk about him
BURNA BOy is calling himself black Jesus... So e dy always see himself as God 😂😂😂 E 4get sa na the afrobeat build him and is family. Dad mom and sister Don eat d hand dat fide u
lol tolani should learn to control his emotions lol, Joe boy is there for an interview, and you guys are taking time talking about burna that doesn’t give a guck
The level of arrogance shown by the guy in red motolani is so embarrassing, n low down! U did not consider the guest! He woke up, hoping when he comes back, the topic would’ve changed, n ur voice lowered, n u didn’t! Why yelling like he’s the one u need to confront over ur concerns? Seems like the scripture read by Excel set u off n them entity’s in you showed itself!! May JESUS CHRIST COVER US WITH HIS BLOOD CUZ u pepo are agents!! Thank goodness JOEBOY did not fall for that topic! Go n face who u wanna stop using profanity & loudness! Some pepo can’t see what’s happening n it’s scary!
