‘Burna Boy biggest artiste in the world’ – American rapper, Joe Budden
Joe Budden, a seasoned American rapper and media personality, has referred to Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy as the “biggest artiste in the world.”
Although he acknowledged Burna Boy’s status as a major figure in the music industry, he said he didn’t like how, after appearing in the remix, he claimed ownership of the hit song “Talibans” by Jamaican musician Byron Messia.
Joe Budden said even when Kenye West did something similar some years back, he was “vehemently against it.”
He stated this in a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Budden Network.
He said, “I’m never a fan of people transferring ownership of already existing songs to themselves after being featured in the remix.
“To the biggest artiste in the world [Burna Boy]. Yeah, I’m not a fan of when that happens. If you made the hit, go work it. If Burna Boy is on it, that should be yours now. But I don’t know the business he [Byron Messia] and Burna Boy did.
“I never remember that going right for somebody. Designer and Kenye [West], I was vehemently against it.”
