Burna Boy responds to rumors of rejecting N1billion for concert
Burna Boy, the Grammy Award-winning Afro-fusion artist, has addressed circulating rumors and expressed his frustration with those who underestimate his talent.
During a performance in Montreal, Burna Boy, known for his unapologetic demeanor, used a song to convey his disdain for the notion that earning or collecting $5 million was insignificant to him. He deemed such trivialization disrespectful to his standing in the music industry.
In a candid moment on stage, Burna Boy asserted himself as a champion wherever he goes, emphasizing his unwavering confidence in his abilities. He lamented being perceived as a joke by some, questioning whether such disrespect was warranted, particularly in light of his reserved nature on certain matters.
Burna Boy referenced a recent incident where he missed a show in Dubai, indicating his intention to participate only in events that value his worth and contribution. This sentiment echoes his previous rejection of a N1 billion show in Warri, Nigeria, deeming the offered amount inadequate.
Burna Boy’s bold statements underscore his unwavering stance on his value as an artist and his refusal to settle for anything less than what he believes he deserves.

In addition, Burna has once again shattered records, emerging as the first African artist to sell out a 21,000-capacity arena in Montreal.
The African Giant delivered an electrifying performance to a crowd of 21,000 fans filled with anticipation at his concert held at the Centre Bell in Montreal, Canada.
This milestone adds to Burna Boy’s impressive list of achievements. Earlier this year, he etched his name in history as the first African artist to grace the stage at the Grammy Awards.
