Reasons Why People Don’t Like Me, Burna Boy Explaining, Grammy Award-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ogulu, recently delved into the reasons behind the animosity directed at him within the music industry. Taking to his X handle, he articulated that his perceived lack of superiors has garnered him disdain from what he referred to as his “inferiors.” In a contemplative post, he shared, “Hated by my inferiors for having no superiors,” accompanied by a snapshot of himself.
This revelation follows Burna Boy’s recurrent assertions about facing hostility from his fellow Nigerians. In one of the tracks, ‘Thank You,’ from his latest album, ‘I Told Them,’ he lamented the insufficient gratitude he receives despite consistently bringing pride to the nation. Rather than acknowledging his substantial musical contributions, Burna Boy highlighted the prevalence of rumors circulating about him. These unfounded speculations involve his mother’s alleged involvement as one of the dancers for the late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti and insinuations about his fatherhood, with some suggesting that his lack of a baby mama aligns with potential impotency, contrasting with the norm among his colleagues.
