Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, famously known as Burna Boy, has finally spoken about being accorded the title of "new cat" in the music industry.
Burna boy reacted to being regarded as a newcomer in the music industry; he sees it as an advantage.
The Grammy-award-winning act, whose first studio album L.I.F.E. was released as far back as 2013, was underdog in the Nigerian music scene for a long time, and the recent comments made by award-winning singer and colleague Davido sparked a frenzy.
Recall that In an interview with Brut Afrique, Davido opened up about the first two Nigerian artists that put the afrobeats sound on the global music map. Citing himself and Wizkid as the pioneers of the Afrobeats to the World movement, he went on to say that the 'new cats, such as Burna Boy, Rema, Asake, and many more, have taken the wave to the next level.
With the historic London show now being broadcast to Apple Music users in over 165 countries, Burna Boy, in an interview with Ebro Darden to preview the live performance, spoke for the first time about the "new cat" conversation.
According to Burna, being perceived as a newbie in the industry gives him more time to function, and the narrative gives him longevity as he is perceived as a newcomer.
