Popular Nigerian singer and songwriter, Burna Boy has come under criticism by Nigerians on social media after he rejected a request to join the RevolutionNow protest.
Recall that former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore had yesterday invited Burna to join the protest owing to his comparison with Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
However, Burna Boy turned down the offer, stating that Nigerian politicians cannot be trusted.
His comments stirred reactions and backlash from Nigerians on Twitter.
Some Nigerians called out the ‘African giant’ for making songs about bad governance but refused to join the protest.
See some of the reactions below;
@Labake_Ajayi “90% of Burna boy’s songs are from Fela, come and protest against bad governance, you’re scared and you claim giant, such an ant you are. You’re forming fake activist on your songs for Grammy, clout chaser.”
@Prsidencymoves “Same Burna that gave Rema fake promise ,you can imagine ordinary come out and join protest now ,to do the real Fela thing ,burna chicken out like a coward.”
@Dxskii “ Lmao they’ve asked Burna boy to show workings and baba dey stammer.”
@Mafia_10144 “ Odogwu go and join the protest and stop making the mouth on Twitter.”
@Nefertiti “ Sowore called on Burna, Burna replied, “I’m not Fela, leave me out of your schemes.Does that mean Burna is only using Fela ‘bodies of work’ for financial gains only?
“Sowore equally called on Don Jazzy & Rude Boy. Did they answer his clarion call? Why are Nigerian celebs so jittery?
