What Omawumi and Waje Said That Made Burna Boy Chase Them Out of Studio - Timaya

Nigerian singer Burna Boy is known for his chart topping songs, and his dedicated fanbase. But on the other side of it, he is also known for being quite "cocky" and coming off as "rude" to a number of people, especially because of some of the braggadocios things he says online, and some of his antics that have gone viral on the internet from his shows, and such.

Now, one of his mentors in the game and industry titan himself Timaya, who has known and supported Burna Boy since the early days of his career, is now opening up about the singer's relentless over confidence, and his sometimes off-putting antics.

BURNA BOY: Actually very good

"You are one guy that he really respects because I think you are part of his success story. He has quoted you so many times citing what you told am at one point or another."

TIMAYA: My guy. My guy. I've always believed in him. Nothing him dey do now wey dey surprise me. Nothing.

"Nothing Burna Boy dey do right now dey surprise you?"
