However, not everyone supported Burna Boy’s stance. Daniel criticized the artist, emphasizing the role that Nigerian media has played in his growth and success. He pointed out that while some news might be inaccurate, the media outlets have significantly contributed to Burna Boy’s recognition and accomplishments.

“Many people won’t hear about u, ur wins, or projects if they hadn’t promoted it. Stop acting like u are self-made, many people paved a way for u..”

“Oga how much be your money?? Make you sef develop amnesia for my matter. You follow for people wey I dey talk about,” he replied.
