Recall that a few days ago, the musician took to the social media platform, Twitter, to declare himself the best musician since Fela, after which music lovers bashed him for ignoring those that came before him.
“FACT! I always knew I was and I am THE BEST. Everyone you think is the best KNOWS I’m BEST since Fela Kuti. But @timayatimaya told me something a long time ago that made me not care about being the best. “The World can do without the Best” the world will still spin regardless”, Burna Boy tweeted.
In a follow up to his previous tweets, Burna Boy has doubled down on his earlier claim of being the best.
While at it, he also took the time to bash his fans who are among those that think he has no right to describe himself that way. He reminded people that this was also how he was advised to accept the small print during the Coachella festival.
Then he promised that no one would sleep as this is just the beginning. In the now-deleted tweets, he wrote:
“If you know you danced or sang along to any Burna Boy song Or you were at any of my Shows turning up anytime from 2012-2018 and you are following these Spineless Olodo’s to say I’ve only been here 2years or your following them to rejoice and wish me bad.
“Remember I Told you I was the African Giant and most of you laughed and said I should be grateful for small fonts. I pray that you Learn from me, I mean this in no bragging way and the Wise know that the Future of Africa depends on the kind of strength and resilience i Show.
“You say “thank God he didn’t win”. Because I say the Truth? And because of your twisted Fake views on humility. Ive been out here With My Family since 2012 going through unspeakable things just to get here against ALL ODDS.
“I repeat. Nobody that is not Fela or My Family can EVER say they paved any way for me. F--k you!
“I drew my own map and followed it. This is just the beginning tho. Una no go sleep!”
