Burna Boy: Let’s not contribute to creation of arrogant, obnoxious monster, Patrick Doyle tells Nigerians

Veteran Nollywood actor, Patrick Doyle, has said that Grammy-award winner, Burna Boy, should not be mentioned in the same way as other music legends.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, he said Burna Boy had not done anything that can be remotely described as great.

He wrote, ‘The credit for the feats that appear to be puffing the likes of Burna Boy up to be properly ascribed to the great who cleared the thorny paths that have created pathways for his likes to walk through practically effortlessly.

“Burna Boy has not by himself done anything that can be remotely described as great. He and his peers are recipients of the labours of heroes past. They need to be humble and respectful of their deligent and truly pioneering predecessors.

“Great artistes like Sunny Ade, Fela Anikulapo, Majek Fashek, I.K. Dairo and a galaxy of others who paved the way from the 60s, to the 2000s. Greatness and great feats don’t exist in a vacuum. Let us not contribute to the creation of an arrogant and obnoxious monster.”
