Superstar artiste, Burna Boy, has gone unusually philosophical.
Not that he had never been philosophical in his talks and approach to music, but he has proved he can become very modest about the capacity of his position to change things.
He recently noted this concerning the battle of Nigerian youths against police brutality symbolised by the notorious SARS squad.

According to him, his thoughts no more matter on SARS, just as he is asking youths to take it easy and be wise in their battles against the ugly system.
Burna, in a recent interview with international media outlet Dazed on a visit to the Caribbean Island, said he was misunderstood because he doesn’t give people the opportunity to know who he is.
He said: “I TEND TO BE MISUNDERSTOOD AND THE REASON IS THAT I HAVE NEVER REALLY GIVEN ANYONE A CHANCE TO KNOW WHO I AM, AND THAT’S WHAT I TRIED TO DO.”
Burna also said that he tried using his recent album Love, Damini to allow people get closer to him.
He said;
“I TRIED TO USE THIS ALBUM TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO GET CLOSER TO ME.”
Concerning ENDSRS saga, he said:
“MY THOUGHTS DON’T MATTER [ON SARS].
I’M NOT GOING TO ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE TO LOSE THEIR LIVES ANY MORE.
WHEN SOMETHING IS READY TO HAPPEN, IT WILL HAPPEN.
WITH UNDERSTANDING COMES READINESS FOR ACTION.”
