Nollywood actor, Patrick Doyle, has said that Burna Boy does not deserve the accolades he is getting.
According to him, he is only riding on the larder erected by legends such as Fela and King Sunny Ade.
He notes in a Facebook post that the recognition singer Burna Boy has continued to enjoy is undeserved.
Doyle argues: “The credit for the feats that appear to be puffing the likes of Burna Boy up have to be properly ascribed to the greats who cleared the thorny paths that have created pathways for his likes to walk through practically effortlessly.
“Burna Boy has not by himself done anything that can be remotely described as great.
“He and his peers are recipients of the labours of heroes past. They need to be humble and respectful of their diligent and truly pioneering predecessors.
“Great artistes like Sunny Ade, Fela Anikulapo, Majek Fashek, I. K. Dairo, and a galaxy of others who paved the way from the 60s, to the 2000s. Greatness and great feats don’t exist in a vacuum.
