“I was at the MSG and I can proudly say Burna is the only Nigerian artist that sounds exactly as he sounds on all his records. His voice is pure and his talent is unmatched. Now I understand why he sings his own praises. Most Nigerians do not appreciate him or value his work. If only they know how records are covered by music enthusiasts all over the world. He is indeed an African giant and I’m convinced we are only just seeing a fraction of what is to come from this amazing singer and his amazing team, ” said Fade.

“Now I know why Burna brags, he’s a master class. His stage presence is something else. Nobody comes near him in Africa. He commands and owns his stage. The audience got more than their money’s worth. I wanted to have a quick sneak of the performance and ended up watching the whole freaking video. Wow. What a show. I have decided to do away with my bias and accord him his due respect. I now hold him in high esteem,” said Theo.

Taking over the music space like a Colossus with his electrifying performance in Madison Square is no child’s play.He was absolutely breathtaking! Light years away from his peers and the difference between them is humungous. God bless Burna Boy for his unbelievable talents and for touching us with his music, ” said Roland.
