Burna Boy announces death of ‘African Giant’

Grammy award winner Burna Boy has sent a cryptic message to his fans, announcing the death of the African Giant title.

The artist stated this on Wednesday on his Instagram story with an emotional note.

The Afrobeat musician claimed that the African Giant persona was killed by his people.

He then introduced a new persona ‘BIG 7’ which he stated was created to shield the remains of his broken heart.

“The ‘African Giant’ died. His own people killed him. Then ‘BIG 7’ was born to protect what was left…. BURNA BOY and BIG 7 fight each other a lot because while BIG 7 is only protecting the final and only existing piece of BURNA BOY’S BROKEN HEART, The ‘African Giant’ still haunts BURNA BOY,” he wrote.

While some of his fans have commended him for his creativity, vulnerability and marketing prowess, others have reacted with concern for his mental state.
