Nigerian music star, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has described the late Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti as “the king” and the only one greater than him.
The ‘City Boy’ singer shared his thoughts during a live streaming session with American streamer, PlaqueBoyMax.
In a video from the stream, Burna Boy is seen singing and dancing to Fela’s protest anthem, ‘Coffin For Head of State’, while speaking passionately about the music icon.
The comment follows Burna Boy’s earlier remarks clarifying Fela’s role in shaping his music. Last month, he acknowledged that Fela’s songs were part of his upbringing but said they didn’t directly inspire his own sound.
Since his rise to fame with ‘Like to Party’, the lead single from his 2013 debut album L.I.F.E — Burna Boy has become one of Africa’s biggest artists, known for blending Afrobeat, dancehall, and pop influences.
