“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 pastor Dolapo Lawal spoke on the reality of living abroad and what people do not see online.
He shared the insight that many Nigerians who relocate to other countries mainly move there for survival and not necessarily for wealth.
“How many people you know that are in the UK who are billionaires? They go there to survive. They don’t go there to be rich. All of them are going there to do care jobs. They’re going there to survive.”
He then shared that it is better to be a billionaire in Nigeria and stated that success can sometimes come easier at home than relocating abroad.
Sandra has spoken out and broken her silence on the alleged affair involving Chike. She shared that she was faithful throughout her marriage and claimed that only Frank Edoho cheated.
Sandra revealed that Frank allegedly cheated multiple times and even claimed that a particular woman was frequently seen around their home, stating that he was definitely involved with her.
She also stated that she has evidence against Frank, including receipts from hotels and places where he allegedly met with his dates.
Popular singer Shakira and Nigerian singer Burna Boy have reportedly released “Daidia,” a song linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It was also noted that the two artists are expected to perform during the event, and the song for the occasion has now been released.
This will not be the first time Shakira will perform for the World Cup. Whenever her name is mentioned, many people remember “Waka Waka,” the iconic World Cup song released for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11, 2026, to July 19, 2026, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Many fans are already excited and cannot wait to see the live performance on the big stage.
