Burna Boy Refutes Claims of Saying America Lacks Culture
Burna Boy, the Nigerian singer who has won a Grammy, has clarified that he did not imply that black Americans lack culture.
He addressed this matter in a recent interview with the American media outlet Complex, stating that he was misquoted.
Burna Boy emphasized that his main objective is to foster connections and bring people together from different backgrounds. His intention is to create a sense of unity and understanding across cultures.
Burna Boy said, “My mission is to bring us [the world] together. My mission is to build a bridge that can’t be broken, a bridge that should have always been there.
“People that said that [I alluded that Black Americans don’t have culture] have their own agenda.
“Coming back to the point of that I said black people have no culture or whatever. Does that even make sense? If you watched the video of the interview, if you can show me the part where I said black Americans don’t have culture. That is alll I need. If somebody can just show me that part.
“There is nothing I said that Malcolm X didn’t say. But obviously, it’s Burna Boy saying it and he is from Africa and it fits the agenda for your little group or whatever.”
