Burna Boy teaches lesson on attention to detail after album release mix-up
Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy has taken to social media to clear up the misunderstanding surrounding his recent album release announcement.
On July 29, Burna Boy tweeted, “Album dropping 12am,” leading many fans and media outlets to assume that his new album would be released at midnight on the same day.

In a follow-up tweet, he wrote, “Ladies and gentlemen, A valuable lesson on paying attention to detail. I said 12am, I never said what date. No be say I whine una o Na una Lose guard” (translated as “It’s not me who misled you; it’s you who weren’t paying attention”).
His clarification has left many fans amused, with some praising his clever wordplay and others admitting their own oversight. The mix-up has sparked a broader conversation about the importance of attention to detail, especially in the fast-paced world of social media.
As for the album release, the official date remains unknown, but fans are eagerly awaiting further announcements from Burna Boy.
