I went through steps but every other person took the elevator- Burna Boy

Popular magazine organization, Burna Boy featured Nigeria’s Burna Boy in a recent interview and the singer talked about his career, being compared to Fela, and more.

GQ discussed language barrier with Burna Boy Burna on the interview since most of his lyrics are in pidgin English and Yoruba but he boldly stated that he has made peace with that.

He said he’d actually prefers the response to his work be rooted in something deeper than streams, sales, and fluctuating chart positions.

“I don’t really have a high regard for numbers, because numbers have no feelings, they have no soul, whereas I do,” he explains. “My ‘numbers’ is the people who have actually felt the feeling that the music is supposed to carry across and in the process received the message.”

When asked about being compared to Fela, Burna says: “I don’t think anybody in their right mind would compare me to Fela.”

He added: “Fela is my inspiration and my childhood hero, so if you think comparing me to Fela is honorable, it’s actually not. It actually makes me feel weird. Fela was Fela, and if it wasn’t for Fela, there probably wouldn’t be any me, so I don’t understand the comparison.”

Burna’s grandfather managed Fela early in the singer’s career and helped form his first band.

When asked if he talks to his grandfather about Fela, he replied: “Every time. Almost every other day.”

Asked about his career and the lessons he’s learned on his journey, Burna said: “Unlike a lot of other people, I’ve had to go through never-ending steps to get here, whereas other people have taken the elevator up.”

He added: “I’ve always been too heavy for that kind of elevator, so I had to take the stairs. Now I know every floor and everything on every floor.”
