Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer and performer Burna Boy is once again back to shaking tables in the entertainment industry as the singer took to his social media platform to offer his fellow artists words of advice regarding fans and also polls conducted on social media and how they do not translate to real-world success.
aking to his Instagram story, the Afrobeat sensation shared a piece of advice aimed at his fellow musicians, cautioning them against relying on social media validation to measure their success.
In his statement, Burna Boy said, “Dear artistes, don’t let Twitter polls and ‘Naija social media fans’ deceive you. They won’t fill up any stadium for you in any part of the world.” This comment highlights the disparity between online popularity and tangible achievements, such as selling out stadiums globally.
