Burna Boy: “I Have More Money Than 90 Percent Of People I Looked Up To”

In a recent revelation on his Instagram story, renowned Afrobeat musician Burna Boy asserted that he has surpassed many politicians and oil tycoons in wealth—individuals he once admired. This statement serves as a powerful reminder of the shifting paradigms of success in contemporary society.
Burna Boy articulated his sentiments regarding the historical perception of fortune, emphasizing that figures in the oil industry and politics were long regarded as the primary custodians of wealth. “Imagine growing up and only oil men and politicians were the ones really getting the real money followed by the G boys. Music wasn’t even in the conversation when money was the topic,” he stated poignantly. He further declared, “Now an ugly black musician from Port Harcourt got more money than 90% of the people he looked up to as money makers.” This declaration highlights not only his personal journey but also the evolving landscape of opportunities within the music industry.
The artist also extended a thought-provoking piece of advice to his followers: never underestimate the potential of those younger than themselves, as today’s underdogs could very well be tomorrow’s titans, akin to Elon Musk.
However, Burna Boy’s recent statements also reveal a more controversial side. In an explicit expression of discontent towards his home country, he indicated that despite his wealth and capability to donate millions, he refrains from doing so due to his feelings towards Nigerians. “I don’t even need most of the sh!t I got. I could really give out millions of dollars right now, but I don’t like y’all,” he remarked on X.
Burna Boy’s journey encapsulates the dual nature of success—its capacity to uplift and inspire, as well as the complexities of personal conviction and societal relations. His emergence as a figure of immense wealth serves as motivation, but his candidness also invites reflection on the responsibilities that accompany such status.
