A Nigerian therapist, Oyinkansola Alabi, has said even if she likes how diligent Burna Boy is, she did not want him to win a Grammy award because his attitude towards fame and money scares her.

Alabi believes the award would’ve ruined him if he was declared the winner.

According to her, Burna Boy should even be happy for the fact that he contested with a legend, Angelique Kidjo.

She then added that global recognition is actually the real award.

Her words, “Even though I love his diligence, I really didn’t want him to win. I thought the Grammy award would ruin him. I was scared of his attitude towards fame and money.

I however, think that his real award is the global recognition and the fact that he contested with a legend. So congratulations, Oluwaburna, may God increase your greatness and may you find him.”
