Burna Boy recently caused controversy by announcing his plans to release a new music video for the track "City Boys," taken from his latest album "I Told Them." Despite the ongoing mourning in Nigeria over the tragic passing of Mohbad, the Grammy Award-winning artist took to his official X (formerly known as Twitter) handle to reveal that the music video would be released on Friday.
This announcement immediately sparked a wave of criticism from Nigerian netizens, with many expressing their disapproval of Burna Boy's decision given the current situation in the country. However, it appears that the African Giant remains undeterred by the backlash. In fact, he has since been spotted on the set of the music video, with online videos showing that an entire street was closed off for the shoot of "City Boys."
While Burna Boy's determination to proceed with his music video release may have caused further division among fans and critics alike, it is evident that he remains committed to his craft. As debates continue, it remains to be seen how this controversy will impact Burna Boy's standing in the music industry and his relationship with his audience.
