Burna Boy Is Undeserving Of Being Labelled Great – Patrick Doyle Criticizes Burna Boy’s Accolades

Renowned Nollywood actor Patrick Doyle has expressed that he does not accept the idea of the accolades received by Grammy-winning singer Damini Ogulu, known as Burna Boy.

In a social media post, Doyle criticized the widespread credit given to the artist, asserting that Burna Boy hasn’t earned the recognition he’s been receiving in the Nigerian music industry.

Doyle’s statement suggested that Burna Boy’s recent accomplishments don’t warrant the level of praise and acknowledgment he has garnered.

He specifically mentioned that the artist, famous for hits like “Ye” and “On The Low,” hasn’t achieved enough to be labeled as a true musical great.

He said, “The credit for the feats that appear to be puffing the likes of Burna Boy up have to be properly ascribed to the greats who cleared the thorny paths that have created pathways for his likes to walk through practically effortlessly.

“Burna Boy has not by himself done anything that can be remotely described as great. He and his peers are recipients of the labours of heroes past. They need to be humble and respectful of their diligent and truly pioneering predecessors.

“Great artistes like SunnyAde, Fela Anikulapo, Majek Fashek , I, k. Dairo and a galaxy of others who paved the way from the 60s, to the 2000s. Greatness and great feats don’t exist in a vacuum.

“Let us not contribute to the creation of an arrogant and obnoxious monster.”
