RE: Burna Boy's Polarising US Tour

My repeated criticism of Burna Boy has always been in his best interest. I give him tough love because he is the one—the most gifted of his generation, our very own Lisan al-Gaib, flying Nigeria’s flag by imposing his creative will on the world.

Even as he walks through a self-lit fire on this US tour, I’m drawn to the symbolism of his existence and why his defence of Nigerian music’s global ambitions remains our last cultural tent-pole. He has played a silly hand, and much of the backlash is deserved. When you invite people to commune with your art, their dignity must be assured.

Yet I sense a growing glee in “showing him he’s nothing.” False rumours of venue cancellations spread, and last night the general joy at his struggles was shocking. I’ve opposed Burna many times, but always as a cultural corrector—his actions speak for themselves. Because we give him so much, we demand the basics: give us music, perform with abandon, treat us right.

But I don’t want him to fail. He may not fully grasp how he carries the dreams of millions of his countrymen—creators who see no ceilings, consumers bursting with cultural pride. He is Nigeria’s “Afrobeats to the world” vanguard whose work has elevated a nation and instilled global pride in our culture. Afrobeats wiped our collective shame, rewrote Nigeria’s image, and made us cool worldwide. Burna’s catalogue carried that weight.

With Afrobeats now fully globalised—spliced and remixed far from Lagos, new centres emerging—our grip on the top tier is loosening. Artists like Burna still make the case for authentic local sounds.

Touring is brutal, and Afrobeats attendance has been dropping. Burna’s tour remains our best shot at a proper, high-level US run that showcases the finest artistry from these parts.

This wasn’t his proudest moment, for an artist from a culture already swimming against the business tide. But big picture? He’s too important to the culture. While I continue to hold him to account, I recognise his movement is bigger than this moment.
