Uche Jombo calls out New York Post over Burna Boy misrepresentation

Nollywood actress and film producer Uche Jombo is displeased with New York Post’s presentation of Burna Boy on Friday.

Exactly an hour and a few minutes after Afro-beat/Afro-fusion superstar, Burnaboy dropped his long-awaited fifth studio album, “TwiceAsTall,” the American news platform posted a story about it.

However, the headline of the report says: “Beyoncé-endorsed Burnaboy makes Afro-beat go International.”

The first paragraph of the report was also about how Burna Boy felt when approached by Beyonce last year.

“As you can imagine, the Nigerian artist felt like worldwide royalty when he was approached by the Queen B — um, yes, Beyoncé — to work with her on last year’s ‘The Lion King: The Gift’ album“.

In reaction to the report, Uche Jombo registered her displeasure via her verified Twitter account.

She tweets: “I love Beyonce as the next person but you are wrong with this ..Beyonce-endorsed Burna Boy ‘makes”’a whole AFROBEAT go international. such a think piece let down by the headline. Do better.”

Check out the post below…. We also want to get your reactions on what we consider a very disappointing and condescending writeup by the New York Post.

Meanwhile, Burna Boy’s new album, Twice As Tall, records 5 million streams in an hour. Amazing.

I love Beyonce as the next person but you are wrong with this ..Beyonce-endorsed Burna Boy "makes" a whole AFROBEAT go international? such a think piece let down by the headline. Do better. https://t.co/i5CRg8xL5P
