Angelique Kidjo hails Burna Boy for sampling her music

Angelique Kidjo, the Beninese singer in her recent Instagram live video session, feels honored that Burna Boy has sampled her music.

Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, known professionally as Burna Boy, is a Nigerian singer and rapper. He rose to stardom in 2012 after releasing “Like to Party”, the lead single from his debut studio album
Kidjo, a multi-Grammy winner, says hearing a sample of his song on Burna Boy’s record made her scream. It gives her goosebumps.

Seeing someone touched her song and take it to another new level is one she couldn’t have predicted soon.
She expressed herself saying, “You make me listen to my song differently. And that’s what music is when somebody touch your work and do it different. It takes the work to another level. It brings you somewhere else that you never foresee yourself.”
