“I have more money than 90% of the people I once looked up to as money makers in Nigeria” – Burna Boy says as he reflects on his journey

Award-winning Afrobeat singer Burna Boy has bragged about being richer than many of the people he once looked up to as he reflected on his journey.

Taking to his Instagram story, he stated that he imagined growing up and only politicians and oil men were the ones getting real money, followed by the G boys. He noted how music wasn’t even in the conversation when money was the topic.

Fast forward to now, he has got more money than 90% of the people he once looked up to as money makers. Using this as a motivational message, he admonished his fans never to look down on any as they could be the next Elon Musk.

“Imagine growing up and only politicians and oil men were the ones really getting REAL money followed by the G boys. Music was not even in the conversation when money was the Topic. Now, an ugly black musician from Port Harcourt got more money than 90% of the people he looked up to as moneymakers. This is why I never count any you h people out, because they could be Elon Musk 2moro typing this same message”.

Last week, the Grammy singer revealed why he can’t give away millions of dollars to his fans. Burna made it known that he doesn’t need most of the things he has and could give out millions of dollars, but he doesn’t like people on social media.

Some weeks back, he had revealed some jaw-dropping revelations about himself, revealing that the new him misses the old him. He expressed how bewildered he was that the old him couldn’t even understand the new him and thought the new him was Soft for not being so angry all the time.

In other news, some months back, Burna Boy caused a stir online as he revealed the names of artists who paved the way for him in the industry. He disclosed that 2baba, Timaya, Dbanj, Larry Gaga and Wande Coal were the only veterans he respected in the music industry. He stressed that they were the only legends impacting his life and career.

Back in July, Burna Boy issued a public service announcement to Nigerians, making it known that he doesn’t use songwriters as any name people see credited on his songs are only producers of the songs or featured artists, not writers. He noted how the Western world considers producers as writers of the instrumentals, and they throw their names on there as writers. Calling himself an Odogwu, Burna made it known that nobody writes for him.
