“Nothing Burna Boy Is Doing Now Surprises Me” – Timaya Speaks On Burna Boy Predicted Success
Timaya recently shared a fascinating story about Grammy award-winning musician Burna Boy, shedding light on his confidence and determination even before fame.
During an interview with Naija FM in Lagos, the singer recalled an incident that occurred years ago in a recording studio.
Present at the time were Burna Boy and renowned female singers Omawumi and Waje.
According to Timaya, Burna Boy made a bold declaration that one day he would be so successful that he would be paid to travel on private jets.
At the time, such a statement seemed far-fetched, as Nigerian artists weren’t known to fly privately, let alone get paid for it.
Timaya recounted how Omawumi and Waje expressed skepticism, questioning the possibility of Burna’s prediction.
Their doubt didn’t sit well with Burna Boy, who has always been known for his fearless and self-assured nature.
In response, he became visibly upset and asked them to leave the studio.
Timaya described this moment as a clear indication of Burna Boy’s unwavering belief in himself and his vision.
Omawumi and Waje, both highly respected in the Nigerian music industry, have carved successful careers of their own.
Omawumi, known for hits like “Bottom Belle” and “If You Ask Me,” is celebrated for her soulful voice and advocacy for women’s rights.
Waje, equally talented, gained prominence with her powerful vocals and songs like “I Wish” and her feature on P-Square’s “Do Me.”
Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, eventually fulfilled his prophecy and more.
Today, he is a global superstar, flying private jets and gracing stages worldwide.
With hits like “Ye” and “Last Last,” he has become one of Africa’s biggest music exports.
Nigerian Singer Speed Darlington sparks reactions with his behavior after hearing Burna Boy’s song in a club.
A viral clip has made its way online as Speed Darlington is seen threatening to leave the club for hearing Burna Boy’s song.
In the video the singer shouted ““I go go,” causing the DJ of the house to quickly change the song to appease to Speed Darlington.
It can be recalled that the two singers have an ongoing beef going on, Speed Darlington always criticizes and speak about Burna Boy online.
In which Burna Boy has reacted to, it was also rumored that Speed Darlington was once arrested for a statement he made against Burna Boy.
Popular Nigerian Tik Toker Jadrolita also known as Jarvis sparks congratulatory messages from fans for being a house owner.
The Tik toker takes to Tik tok to give a house tour of her new home in Lagos, Nigeria. Jarvis expressed excitement as she showed around her house and reminisced her early days before she became popular on social media.
Fans then congratulate her on her new achievement and growth. Many applaud for being able to reach this milestone early in life or earlier than others.
Reality TV star and DJ, Tolanibaj, has advised some Afrobeats legends to consider stepping away from music if they have lost their spark.
Speaking in a video shared on her TikTok page, Tolanibaj said there is no shame in retiring, especially when putting out poor music only damages the strong brand they worked hard to build. Her comments come as fans continue to criticize the recent releases from Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy.
Tolanibaj said, “Why is it that Nigerian artists don’t know when to evolve or shift fully into business? If your music no longer connects with your fans, why not build on your legacy in other ways instead of letting yourself get dragged and compared to new-generation artists?”
She pointed to Olamide and Don Jazzy as examples of how veteran artists can transition into executive roles and stay respected.
She added, “Stop letting yourself be disrespected. If your old catalogue is A1, there’s no need to keep dropping weak songs. It’s better to retire gracefully or even become a lifestyle influencer than to water down your brand.”
