Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly as Burna Boy, has reacted to xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and other nationals in South Africa.
Burna Boy, who has been off social media for a while, made a come back on Tuesday, 3rd September, to speak on the trending issue.
In series of tweets, the African Giant as he is called, shared his own opinion on the situation.
Burna Boy said, “Ok. I have been away from social media personally until today. Ordinarily at a time like this, I should come here and say something to try and calm the situation because my Dream has always been to Unite AFRICA and make us realise that Together we will Literally rule the world.
“But Today After watching the Killing of my people in South Africa the same way we have all watched it happen a few times in the past. FUCK ALL THAT! I personally have had my own xenophobic experiences at the hands of South Africans and because of that I have not set foot in SA since 2017. And I will NOT EVER go to South Africa again for any reason until the SOUTH AFRICAN government wakes the fuck up and really performs A miracle because I don’t know how they can even possibly fix this.
“This goes against everything I stand 4, but at what point do we take action? I understand that years of Oppression has confused South Africans to the point where they see the pple who came to their defence during their Oppression as their Enemies and then worship their oppressors.”
He then called out AKA and slammed him for his comments on the Xenophobia issue.
“And AKA i knew you was retarded but I didn’t know it had gotten this bad. Next time I see you you better have a big security bro,On Gambos Grave ur gunna need it,” Burna Boy said
Burna Boy, furthermore, called of M.I. ABAGA, a Nigerian rapper and warned him for trying to cover up AKA from criticism.
He said, “And M.I Abaga it’s F*ck AKA from now on. And if you down with him, it’s F*ck you too. I respect you too much, please Don’t throw my respect out the window cuz I swear you will fly out with it.”
Burna Boy then noted that some South Africans are amazing but are not many.
“Lemme also say that there are some South Africans who are Amazing, Progressive AFRICAN people and I will forever Love them like I Love myself. But they are not many at all.”
The African Giant concluded noting that he is not supporting violence and asked Nigerians to protect themselves.
He said, “And to my Brothers and sisters I am not encouraging any Violence or anything but please PLEASE Protect and Defend yourselves at all times, it may not seem like it but there’s always a way. Management will now take back control of Burna Boy’s Social media. God bless AFRICA ✊🏾.”
