Nigerian music star Burna Boy reported that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s leader rejected his offer to hold a free concert for citizens of West African countries.
Last week, reports surfaced online that the Berner Boys expressed interest in holding a free performance in Burkina Faso, a gesture of goodwill. However, President Trare allegedly rejected the proposal, saying the country needs to focus rather than distract at the moment.
After the news, the Grammy Award-winning artist faced mixed reactions online, with some social media users mocking what he called a public bubble.
Burna Boy responded through his social media platform, lashing out at his critics and skeptical of the negative emotions of his intentions.
“I said I wanted to have a free show in Burkina Faso and while many people were positive about it, it was surprising that some idiots said something unbelievably negative that shocked me.” he wrote.
He continues to criticize those who make derogatory comments and points out that they have no right to question his actions or intentions.
“Sorry, if your only contribution to the world is when you’re silly comments or cheap rings and phone conversations, you’re not even qualified to say my name,” he said. Burna Boy opened backwards.
The singer further defended his track record of humanitarian and philanthropic efforts in Africa, insisting that he had no explanation for the work he chose.
“I have nothing to gain from anyone, and I owe nothing to anyone, but that never stops me from doing the great work I do. My integrity is undoubtedly. He added.
Burna Boy’s response has since sparked fresh dialogue about celebrity activism, public criticism and the relationship between artists and African governments.
