Grammy award-winning Nigerian superstar singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy has revealed that Timaya, D’banj, Wande Coal, Larry Gaaga, and 2Baba are the only veteran artists in Nigerian music he respects.
The ‘Last Last’ hitmaker made the disclosure during a live session on Instagram as he claims that these are the only legends in the industry who have influenced his life, personally and professionally.
Burna Boy made this statement in response to veteran producer, ID Cabasa’s recent plea to artists to show respect for the legends in the industry.
In his words:
“The only OGs who have impacted my life; number one, Timaya, because he is the one who showed me that achieving stardom was possible. I’m going to respect him for the rest of my life.
D’banj also supported me back then. He paid for ‘Wan Da Mo’ video. These are two people I don’t joke with. It’s not like n*ggas don’t have respect, no, n*ggas have just been through a lot and we only remember the people we saw in the dark times. People like Larry Gaaga. He stood by me back then. So these are people I will respect for the rest of my life.
“When you’re talking about OGs, as far as I’m concerned, those names are the only ones in addition to 2Face based on musicality and the fact that he did a feature with me when he didn’t have to back in the day. These are OGs to me. Any other person isn’t an OG to me. ID Cabasa, you can meet Olamide and you can be an OG to him [laughs]. We’ve all been through stuff differently and we all see life differently.
“I can’t forget Wande Coal, too. At a point in time, we were so close.”
