Nigerians are basically just queer and unpredictable, in spite of the so much love Burna Boy got on the release of his new album ‘Twice as Tall’, some Nigerian via social media have started called him out over ‘homophobic slur lyrics’ on the new released album.
It could be recalled that Burna Boy released his most anticipated studio record, Twice as Tall Album on Friday, 13th August, 2020, which recorded about 5,000,000 streams within the first hour of its release, making it become an instant hit.
Nevertheless, one Twitter user, identified as @Blaise_21, took to the platform to drag out Burna Boy for homophobia on the track,
“Wettin Dey Sup.”
In his words;
“This Burna boy lyric spills homophobia back to back. I been sensed it. Stop making excuses for Burna boy because you like his music. Historically, gay people were called weak because they’re not attracted to women and many gay men could only be involved in anal sex. Also, telling all of us you’re straight after having a song with Sam Smith”
The refrain of the track goes;
“I no be one of those men wey dey fear toto fuck nyash
Check am, na kpa goro kpa. Me I know say everybody got to die on day buried six feet under golo ta”
Checkout the reactions below;
@UnekwuojoJimmy: This Burna Boy has shown time and time again that he is an insensitive, ignorant and razz little shit. Now his homophobia has jumped out… again! But because he is your fave and you want to vibe so desperately to his mediocre music, you will unlook all his BS.
@fendihoe_: Not people being dishonest and gaslighting this tweet……..is it not on this same TL people were questioning his collab with Sam Smith Bc we all know he’s homophobic?
@Stepharney2: So you can go about screaming you’re gay and rainbowing up but the straight people can’t?
You’re the only one with the rights to state your sexuality in people’s faces? The actual hypocrisy
@TrophyHusbandD: Homophobic lines in music are so silly because they almost never add anything of value to the song…. But now a potentially good song becomes a source of pain or discomfort for your fans.
