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.

Mr. Macaroni, a well-known Nigerian comedian, skit maker, and activist, has shared why he refuses to acknowledge Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu publicly.

This revelation came after an X user, @OyesileJohn, criticized Macaroni for ignoring the Governor.

The user posted, “To d’ifa fun a certain Macaroni who, in an attempt to please the mob, snubbed the governor of Lagos state. Omo ase.”

In his response, Mr. Macaroni doubled down on his stance, saying he would continue to ignore Governor Sanwo-Olu, whom he referred to as “your Governor.”

He added, “He doesn’t mean anything to me, neither do you or your father.

I love that you slaves bring this issue up all the time.

For every time you do, I will send you to your masters.”

Explaining his reason, the skit maker recounted his harrowing experience during the End SARS protests in October 2020.

Mr. Macaroni, whose real name is Debo Adedayo, was among the protesters arrested at the Lekki Toll Gate.

He revealed that he was stripped, beaten, and dehumanized while in detention.

According to him, the police officers who brutalized him told him to “stop disturbing the governor.”
