Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Damini Ogulu, known globally as Burna Boy, has made a striking revelation about his evolving identity, telling fans that the old version of him has “died.”
In a recent post on the official Instagram page for his upcoming album No Sign Of Weakness, Burna Boy addressed those struggling to accept his transformation. He controversially blamed Nigerians for “killing” the old version of himself.
He wrote:
“The ‘African Giant’ Burna Boy died. His own people killed him. Then ‘Big 7’ was born to protect what was left of ‘Burna Boy.’”
The artist described an ongoing internal conflict between the two versions, explaining that “Burna Boy and Big 7 fight each other a lot because while Big 7 is only protecting the final and only existing piece of Burna Boy’s broken heart, the ‘African Giant’ still haunts Burna Boy.”
This candid admission sheds light on the personal and artistic evolution Burna Boy is undergoing as he prepares to unveil his new project, signaling a bold new chapter in his career.
