I know things are bad in Nigeria right now, but please, @burnaboy , Iโm begging you, you donโt have to say anything.
Recently, youโve built roads and helped fund the release of over a thousand inmates across prisons in the country. Youโre just a private citizen. Youโve done your best, and youโre still doing your part.
Iโm saying this because you should know when to speak out and when not to. Donโt let anyone pressure you into speaking out. Mind you, these same people pressuring you today are the same ones who collectively tried to end your career last year.
They want to pick and choose. They want the freedom to constantly criticize and insult you, yet still expect you to ignore how theyโve treated you over the years and speak on their behalf. They claimed your songs that raised awareness were nothing but stunts and accused you of profiting from peopleโs suffering. Yet today, these same people want you to speak out for them.
Your โAfrican Giantโ title comes from being exceptional at what you do. Youโre not an activist, and honestly, Iโm glad you stopped making conscious music.
Remember, these people donโt like you. Donโt let them guilt trip you into carrying responsibilities they never appreciated when you did.
God will save and help Nigeria.๐ณ๐ฌ ๐ค๐
