Burna Boy Getting ‘Undeserved’ Recognition- Patrick Doyle
A veteran actor, Patrick Doyle, has submitted that Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu popularly called ‘Burna Boy’ has been getting underserved recognition.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Doyle, in a Facebook post on Wednesday, said Burna Boy has ‘done nothing by himself that can be remotely described as great’.
Hitting out at the Grammy-award-winning artiste, Doyle said veterans like Sunny Ade, Fela Anikulapo and I.K Dairo, paved the way for the likes of Burna, adding that they need to ‘respect their diligent and truly pioneering predecessors’.
‘The credit for the feats that appear to be puffing the likes of Burna Boy up have to be properly ascribed to the greats 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.
Burna Boy and his peers are recipients of the labours of heroes past. They need to be humble and respectful of their diligent 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’ he wrote–Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
