Port Harcourt based publicist, Dave Tuetara fondly called, Dave of Africa has weighed in on Burna Boy and his new album

The publicist said Burna boy does not need Nigeria's opinion because Nigerians are not the ones that made him successful, rather it was Europeans and Americans

He said Burna Boy was not appreciated and really struggled when he was doing music in Nigeria, that the singer had to got to Ghana, South Africa and the UK before he became successful

he said

"Burna Boy new album is out but he does not need Nigeria's opinion on it. His new album maybe be trash to Nigerians but he did not make it for Nigerians and it will still sell very well abroad.

"Burna Boy is successful today cos those in Europe, America and other places listens to his music and pay for it, not Nigerians. How much is he making from Nigeria, peanuts. The analytics is there on Spotify, Audiomack, Youtube and his tours. He is making music for those that really appreciate him and buy his music, not Nigerians.

"If it were only Nigerians, 'Last Last' wouldn't have been a global hit, Nigerians still dont like the song that much, If it were only for Nigerians, Burna Boy will still be an upcoming singer. Normally Nigerians prefer Wizkid and Davido kind of music which is still cool

"Burna boy was in Nigeria doing good music but did not go far, he had to go to Ghana, South Africa and UK before the world began taking notice, the world, not Nigerians. Nigerians only started appreciating Burna boy when the world began listening and paying for his songs

"If it wasn't for those living European and American, Burna boy wouldn't have gone far.

"Yes, Burna boy said truth, 80% of afro beats songs are trash, but Nigerians like trash, trash sells very well in Nigeria".
