“Don’t think you are talented or respected because you have good STREAMING NUMBERS” – Burna Boy

Damini Ogulu (born 2 July 1991), known professionally as Burna Boy has come for his colleagues in the music industry who boast over their compilations of streaming numbers.

The singer in his post stated that streaming numbers do not imply that a singer is talented and no one should get carried away by them.

He stated that if viral songs like ‘Baby Shark’ and ‘Gangnam style’ could have amazing streaming numbers then no one should get overly excited about the millions of views and listens they get on the internet.

Burna Boy’ statement could be in reaction to Mayorkun’s post some few days back.

The DMW artiste had taken to social media to post on his achievement after he attained 70million streams across different platforms.

His statement, however, received some backlash on social media, with some users regarding him as a ranter, who should rather focus on his blooming career than dampening the excitements of other artistes.

If you recollect, some days back, Burna Boy took to social media to condemn Nigerian artistes jumping on international deals.

In a post he shared on Instastories, the singer revealed such artistes don’t know what they are getting themselves into.

He, however, expressed gratitude to his mother and manager for helping him navigate without the help of foreign record companies.
