His response has generated a lot of response from Nigerians on Twitter but i dont think he meant this in a bad light.
I think Damini has some pride and arrogance but I don’t think he meant this in a bad way. He makes money from YouTube views, Apple Music, Spotify, etc. (and pays taxes to the American government) not shows in Nigeria or anything like that (except governor dash am). As he is, he can work from anywhere in the world and still remain a phenom because his fan base is global like Wizkid, David, Tiwa and co. That’s why they’re so big.
ReplyDeleteIf they live here, it’s just because they want to. Nothing more. Wetin dey here? After music sef, they make money from crypto and co. So who Nigeria hep?
Every Nigerian should aim for an international career and I’ll always say it - tech is the new oil money. Find a way to get involved .
And majority of the YouTube views do not come from Nigeria?
DeleteAnon 10:24 ask am o
DeleteAnon 10:24,it doesn't,actually..
DeleteWatch Jazzy's #blackbox interview with Ebuka on YouTube, you'd understand.
His biz. Not a fan.
DeleteWhy don't u go live in America or the UK then we see how it works for u
DeleteHow many people watch videos on YouTube in Nigeria with the the expensive cost of data in Nigeria,Nigerians in diaspora are the ones watching videos on YouTube
DeleteI think he was just joking
ReplyDeleteGood luck to him. Shebi na people they buy and listen to his music. After all he doesn't need naira.
ReplyDeleteNa him sabi
ReplyDeleteHe even said he didn't get a dime from Gov Wike at his homecoming.. okay o
ReplyDeleteHis mother confirmed the same thing.
DeleteBurna boy and Pride are 5&6, Nigeria made you, don't bite the hand that feeds you
ReplyDeleteDon't mind him.
DeleteSometimes silence is golden.
Pride(arrogance) & fall
DeleteThe pride in this man ehhh is too loud. He should tone it down a bit.
ReplyDeleteStill a boi.
DeleteOk oh.
ReplyDeleteProud much
ReplyDeleteNa him sabi
ReplyDeleteNa him sabi. I don't even know his song or listen to it.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing this young handsome legend needs to work on is how to carry himself like the true African giant he is. He musn't reply everything, neither should he be talking or tweeting carelessly, some certain things are better handled when it is ignored. He has gotten to that point in his career where he needs to understand that the world knows who he is and are watching. He needs the attitude and carriage on Genny, Bey and Jayz. That being said, he started making money from Nigeria as an artist before becoming the world wide Burna.

Deletethe dynamics he was referring to are appreciated, but that statement was reckless and misguided
