Standup comedian and actor Okechukwu Anthony Onyegbule, popularly known as Okey Bakasi, has made some interesting reveals about music star Burna Boy.
Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ebnorwa Ogulu, has been nominated for three Grammy Awards and has won other notable awards.
According to Okey Bakassi, he had worked with Burna Boy about 10 years ago and was initially insecure about his personality, but through his musical choices he made Nigeria proud.
The comedian made the announcement on his Instagram page on yesterday Thursday, sharing a photo of Burna Boy and captioning it:
“We worked together, almost a decade ago on the Globacom tour. His talent was obvious, looked shy off stage but had so much presence on stage. I was initially worried about his personality because, in my 30yrs on stage I’ve seen so many promising talents decline due to personality issues.”
“Today, I just want to celebrate @burnaboygram for his accomplishments, for putting himself and Nigeria on the world entertainment map.
Burna Boy becomes the first African artist to have 4 songs reach number #1 on Apple Music (All genre) in at-least 10 countries in a single year.”
“— Last Last (#1 in 53 countries)
— For My Hand (#1 in 22 countries)
— It’s Plenty (#1 in 20 countries)
— Alone (#1 in 10 countries)
