Burna Boy accused of sampling unpopular artiste on ‘Common Person’ (Video).
Nigerian Grammy award-winning artist Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu MFR, known professionally as Burna Boy, has come under fire for allegedly sampling the song’s title and lyrics from an unknown artist.
The Grammy winner was accused of copying the song “Common Person” from MC Olopka, who gave his tune the same name.
Sakpo, a PR expert, called Burna out, alerted the public to his finding, and supported his allegation by posting a video to the microblogging website Twitter.
The video he posted was MC Olokpa’s own rendition of the song that the African Giant was accused of copying.
Sakpo tweeted; “So the common person supposed sample was a cover, it looked so convincing if we put Burna history with Sampling into consideration.

Meantime, Burna Boy attended the Met Gala, New York City’s premier fashion event, for the first time and his outfit shares similarities to that of three other attendees.
The Met Gala, frequently referred to as “Fashion’s Biggest Night,” had its 2023 edition on Monday, May 1st, 2022, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
The Grammy-winning performer from Nigeria graced the red carpet in an elegant manner.
Burna Boy donned a Burberry patterned shirt and trousers with an unusual neckline and a train. He did look excellent overall, despite the fact that the black shoes felt a little tight.
