Burna Boy Apologizes on Instagram While Defending Himself After Livestream Controversy
Burna Boy has responded on Instagram after facing backlash for comments he made while addressing a viral incident involving a sleeping couple at one of his concerts. The singer had earlier stated that no one is obligated to be his fan, a remark that sparked criticism across social media. In a lengthy response, he took time to clarify his stance while also expressing frustration over what he described as a long-running agenda against him. “I understand the agenda against me and I came to terms with it a long time ago so my skin is bulletproof at this point. I wasn’t gunna address this but… if you make the pilot uncomfortable in a plane you bought a ticket for, you will be deboarded or arrested as soon as you land, you pay school fees but you will be kicked out of class if you make it uncomfortable for the teacher to do his job,” he wrote. He stressed that his performances demand full emotional and physical commitment, noting that even fans battling serious health challenges manage to stay engaged throughout his shows. “My shows have people who have beaten Cancer or overcame something very serious e.t.c and none of them have ever slept lol. I leave my soul on every stage I get on even if it’s only 10 people in attendance and I will gladly be cancelled if we are now in a world where you can treat me like a stripper, slap my ass and tell me to keep dancing cuz you throw $100 at me.” According to him, his earlier comment was taken out of context because he had actually been joking privately with his band. He accused critics of twisting the narrative into claims that he doesn’t appreciate his supporters. “Btw I was joking around with my band about some thing else. Not necessarily this situation and y’all have spun it as usual saying ‘Burna boy doesn’t love his fans’. If you hate me so much either Kill me or leave me alone.” Burna Boy also spoke on dealing with personal struggles away from the spotlight, insisting he never seeks sympathy online. “I’m fighting my own battles and I never come out here to look for pity or help. I Love who loves me and respect who respects me. Free Sudan, Free Congo, Free Nigeria.” He acknowledged the possibility of being wrong in the situation but maintained that his reaction felt justified. “I Sincerely Apologise if I’m wrong, I’m not always right but I feel right about this. Anyway I’m just Human so fuck me.” The Grammy winner lamented how positive stories about him rarely receive attention compared to moments where critics feel he has misstepped. “They never post any of the good I do in this world but they go wild and viral when they feel I’ve finally ‘fucked up’. I’ve seen people who NEVER even acknowledged my existence before now posting how ‘This is Not cool’ or writing think pieces on me now. Astagfirullah.” His response has continued to generate mixed reactions, with fans and observers debating both his explanation and the larger issue of celebrity expectations versus fan behaviour.

Zlatan Explains Why He Refuses To Sign Artistes And Won’t Gamble Money On New Talent
Zlatan has opened up about why he has never been eager to sign artistes under his wing, revealing that he sees it as an unnecessary financial risk. During a conversation on the Afrobeats podcast, he explained that he prefers to protect his earnings rather than invest in musicians whose success is uncertain. He admitted that putting money behind an emerging artiste has never made sense to him. “I’d rather just go buy a house than put money on an artist that I’m not sure of, if the artist is going to blow up or not,” he said, noting that the pressure of such a gamble is something he is not willing to deal with. Zlatan emphasized that collaborations, not artiste funding, are what shaped his journey. He credited his rise to working with established and upcoming acts rather than running a label or managing other talents. “Collaboration has played a vital role in my career. Older artists, new generation—everyone collaborated with me when I popped out. That’s how I got the big dogs.” He explained that his priority has always been financial stability, especially after experiencing instability early in his career. He recalled how those early days came with stress and uncertainty, adding that staying financially secure keeps him creative and motivated. “The reason why I’m doing this is to take care of myself and be stable financially. In the beginning I was not balanced. There was pressure, there was anxiety.” Zlatan added that being comfortable affects how he performs in the studio. “If I have money and I go to the studio, the way I’m going to be busting is money,” he said. He also shared that he quit smoking in 2019 and continues to enjoy strong support from fans across the country, especially from the East. He referenced his recent energetic collaboration with Flavour, joking about whether a wealthy man like him should still be jumping around on stage. For Zlatan, the message is clear: he will collaborate widely, but he has no plans to sign artistes. His focus remains on maintaining stability, protecting his earnings, and growing at his own pace.

I told you, if it’s 12 p.m., I’m out,” he said during an Instagram livestream.
