Burna Boy has been noted for copying Fela Kuti in his songs on several occasions, and he has in a recent tweet, justified his that.
According to the African Giant, it is a common activity great people are involved in, stressing that they sample what they love.
He continued to say although he samples other people’s art, he is the least compared to others who engage in the same act.
He also threw a challenge to anyone who thinks he is not as great as he makes it seem to come out and prove him wrong.
He said this as a reply in a question and answer session on Twitter when a tweep pointed to him that he is no original act yet he acts as though he is one.
“We are pained that you are a sampler and playacting like a king! Mofo.” the tweep said.
“Ode. All the Greatest in the world have sampled things they love. And realistically I do it the least compared to them. I challenge you or Anyone to prove I’m not who I say I am you insect” he replied.
