He emphasized that it makes him feel youthful and fuels his desire to accomplish more. Burna Boy stated, “It is a good thing that people think my movement is new. I love that.

The talented artist affirmed that he has always believed in his ability to achieve greatness. He also highlighted his versatility in music, stating that he embraces various genres to showcase that music transcends boundaries. Burna Boy expressed gratitude for his ability to create diverse music, adding that it would have been a waste if he had confined himself to a single genre.
In essence, Burna Boy remains unfazed by the misconception surrounding his status in the music industry, finding motivation in the notion that he can continue pushing boundaries and expanding his artistic horizons.
