Grammy award-winning Nigerian artist, Damini Ogulu, widely known as Burna Boy, has openly ridiculed President Bola Tinubu’s proposition of a military invasion into the Niger Republic following a recent coup in the nation.

President Tinubu had formally approached the Senate, seeking their endorsement for a military intervention against the military junta in Niger Republic, which regrettably was met with a refusal.
In a live session on Instagram, Burna Boy voiced his skepticism about the viability of such a war while Nigeria is grappling with the ongoing surge in fuel prices.
The artist, renowned for hits like ‘Stand Tall,’ advised Tinubu to prioritize resolving the pressing issue of escalating fuel costs after the sudden removal of subsidies.
Speaking in Pidgin English, Burna Boy humorously questioned the practicality of embarking on a battlefield when the fundamental concerns at home remain unaddressed.

Fuel never dey you wan go fight war.
How you wan reach the battlefield? You go use…. Wettin dem dey use that generator now do? Gas generator. E shock me. Wahala no dey ever tire Nigeria.”
Bella Shmurda’s Stance on Collaboration and New Artists Threat
Conversely, Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda has expressed his reluctance to pursue collaborations by actively chasing after other artists.
In a recent interview with Cool FM, the 27-year-old musician shared his perspective on working with Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy.

Bella Shmurda emphasized that he refrains from seeking out collaborations since he believes that an artist’s name might be established, but true talent speaks for itself.
The emerging father and artist reiterated his conviction that he remains unaffected by the emergence of new talents and is confident in his own position in the industry.
Bella Shmurda first gained prominence in 2019 with his release ‘Vision 2020,’ which featured a remix collaboration with YBNL label boss Olamide.
His stance showcases a steadfast commitment to his craft and self-assuredness in his unique artistic journey.
