Grammy award-winning singer, Damini Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, has handed over his self-acclaimed African Giant title to his colleague, Folarin Falana, better known as Falz the Bahd Guy.
Burna Boy disclosed this via his verified X page on Thursday explaining why he distanced himself from the ongoing #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests.
In his tweet, the singer stated that the fight in him died in 2020 during the ENDSARS protest, when some protesters made calls to boycott his music.
Burna Boy wrote, “The fight in me died on this day. Ogun go doggy, anybody wey call my name this time around,” while reacting to an old video from October 2020, where some protesters were heard shouting, “Don’t play Burna o, we don’t want Burna.”
This has however garnered reactions from X users who called him out in the comment section over his silence in the ongoing protest.

Tweeting anonymously as #boymanager0, an X.com user commented, “Oga, shut up. Just because they did you badly doesn’t mean you should give up. U taught us to keep fighting in your songs, but u dey here dey cap nonsense.”
Burna Boy replied: “I taught you to keep fighting your oppressors, but you chose to fight me.”
Tweeting as #Xperience_Snr, another user wrote, “They didn’t just wake up and started shouting… “No Burna Boy, We No Want Burna Boy, Cancel” That chant came as a huge disappointment from lots of Nigerians because you’d constantly thrown us under the bus abroad and during elections and protests. You were quiet.”
Some users also questioned Burna’s self-proclaimed ‘African Giant’ title.
“Are you not supposed to be the Giant of Africa like you claimed you are? But when it is time to lend your voice, you will suddenly become an ant of Africa,” #Tooshugary4U wrote.
Similarly, another user, #jr_barry, wrote, “Because you wan ghost and you de call yourself African giant.”
In his response, Burna Boy seemingly relinquishes the title to fellow musician, Falz., “I don hand am over to Falz bros.”
