Timaya Recalls How Burna Boy Showed His Determination in the Studio
In a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos, Nigerian music star Timaya shared an intriguing story from the past involving Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy, revealing his early confidence and determination.
Timaya recalled a moment when Burna Boy, Omawumi, and Waje were in the studio together years ago. During the session, Burna Boy boldly declared that he would one day be paid to fly on a private jet. At the time, the concept seemed far-fetched to some, especially given that Nigerian artists hadn’t yet begun to enjoy such luxuries.
However, when Omawumi and Waje expressed doubt over Burna Boy's statement, the rising star’s reaction was swift. According to Timaya, Burna Boy grew frustrated with the skepticism and asked his colleagues to leave the studio.
“Nothing Burna Boy is doing now surprises me. The guy is fearless," Timaya said. "He got angry and opened the studio door and asked them to leave.”
This moment exemplifies Burna Boy’s unwavering belief in his own potential, a trait that has undoubtedly played a part in his remarkable rise to global stardom.
