"There is a lot of fakeness in the music industry" – Singer Burna Boy says

Young Nigerian musician Damini Ogulu popularly
known by his stage name Burna Boy has talked
about his opinions on the Nigerian music
industry.
In an interview with The Punch, the young
singer who sings Afrofusion music noted that
the industry is full of fake people and
politics.
Burna Boy expressed that a lot of people in
the industry pretend to be who they are not.
According to the singer, speaking the truth in
the industry makes you look like the odd one
out of your colleagues.
"There is a lot of fakeness in the music industry" –
Singer Burna Boy says
He said: “I am someone who calls a spade a
spade. I say it as I see it, and I don’t like to
sugarcoat things. I believe in being real and I
don’t have time for industry politics. There is
a lot of fakeness in the industry; people say
one thing, yet they mean another. For me, I
wouldn’t say anything behind your back. I
would say whatever I want to say right to
your face, and that’s the end. I believe in
expressing myself immediately and after that,
it’s over; I move on. But in this industry, if you
speak the truth, you begin to look like the odd
one out and that’s not cool. That’s why I don’t
have lots of friends in the industry because I
like to keep to myself.”
Burna Boy joined the music industry in 2012
after he released the hit song "Like to Party"
