Is this the best apology Kenyans will get from Nigerian singer Burna Boy?

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Kenyans have been arm-twisting Nigerian singer Burna Boy into offering an apology after he called them peasants last time he was in the country.

Many had vowed to boycott his show but Kenyans were shocked after learning it was sold out despite him refusing to apologize.

Among those who called out Burna Boy to apologize was State House Director of Brand Strategy and Events Big Ted.

On Instagram he said:

“I have run concerts in Kenya for many years and one thing I have seen with many of the even so called “divas” is the respect they accord a visiting country..even in the past when the artist would leave the country without payment they would curse the promoter BUT NEVER the citizens… So I gather that @burnaboygram is in town for another collection from “peasants” first of all on MASHUJAA day…brathe listen our djs may play your songs…we may even dance to it see Kenyans are a cool lot we live with many of your brothers and sisters here happily and chop life together..We slide easy but we don’t forget.. And we are also a very very proud people.. We work hard for every peasent cents we pay to see you…but we also party hard… We may be gullible to the lies and stories told to us by politicians but we are NOT STUPID…we demand an APOLOGY from you yes you @burnaboygram before you take to any stage in this peasant country…”

Apology?

It seems Burna Boy has made a U-turn and decided to say something nice about Kenya. He didn’t really say he’s sorry, but said that something nice about Kenya.

Here’s what he said:

A social media war is imminent and it’s between Sauti Sol’s Mudigi and Kenyans.

It has everything to do with the recent debacle between Kenyans and Nigeria’s Burna Boy who was in the country over the weekend.

It all started with Anto Neosoul who seemed disgraced by the wanting performance from the Nigerian Superstar who apparently showed up at an event at 4AM completely wasted only to perform for 30 minutes and leave. Mind you for a show who’s entrance fee was 5000 bob.

He had a heated exchange with the Nigerian Star where he claimed Kenya promoters should step up their game and support their own because they can pretty much deliver more.

Of course Burna Boy responded, throwing major shade at Anto Neo Soul and his irk emphasizing on the need for Kenyan artists to respect themselves first before demanding International recognition. And he even got petty by referring to kenyans as peasants who could only serve as his amusement before he could catching his flight.

Kenyans being Kenyans could not let this just go down without a fight so they hit the interwebs in droves to attack the Nigerian.

Now Sauti Sol’s Mudigi thinks Kenyans should check themselves first because all they are doing is wasting their time in senseless online wars.

“Iwejee kitu kidogo Kenyans online Pang’ang’a sijui Burna Boy, Burna Boy…ameshaenda na ametengeza pesa” He said before asking Kenyans to love themselves and their own before they go lighting fires on twitter.
