PEPT: “Audio african giant” – Fans blast Burna Boy following silence

Burna Boy, the Nigerian Afrobeat sensation, has come under fire from fans for his prolonged and audible silence during the recent election tribunal proceedings.

Burna Boy’s music has been vocal and expressive of Nigeria’s economic situation.

His songs have become anthems for all people, resonating with many Nigerians who are dissatisfied with the current state of affairs.

However, his apparent absence at a critical juncture in Nigerian politics has left some fans disappointed.

The election tribunal, which was the focus of national attention yesterday, was one that created a lot of headlines throughout the day.
Burna Boy’s previous songs speaks out loudly about the injustices in the country, making his silence during this period surprising to many.

Fans and followers of the artist took to social media platforms to express their disappointment and frustration. They criticized Burna Boy for leveraging the situation of things in Nigeria to promote his music. Some even went as far as labeling him a “user” who exploits Nigerians for his album sales but fails to engage when real change is on the line.

Here are some of the reactions of fans below:
