Your song being number 1 is nothing to celebrate – Burna Boy

Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy has declared that having a song in the number one position in Nigerian charts is no reason to celebrate.

The self-proclaimed ‘African Giant’ made the remark while speaking on the polls and comparisons Nigerian fans engage in on social media.

Burna Boy advised fans and followers not to be carried away by what they see on social media as those behind such accounts won’t fill up stadia anywhere.

“Dear artists, don’t let Twitter polls and ‘Naija social media fans’ deceive you. They won’t fill up any stadium for you in any part of the world,” he penned on his Instagram story.

The ‘Ye’ crooner added, “Your song being number 1 on any streaming platform in Nigeria is not something to celebrate.

“Aim higher or do other businesses on the side. I type with love.”
