Grammy-winning Nigerian afrobeats singer, Damini Ogulu musically known as Burna Boy says he is not in competition with any artist.
The 30-year-old “On the low”singer addressed the topic of rivalry in the music industry and love for his fans when he featured on “The Zane Lowe Show”, on Apple Music 1.
In the interview, Burna Boy confidently sent a stern warning to anyone who plans to get in the way of his career, as such a person will get crushed.
“There’s no competition in music because if there was, then there wouldn’t be competition for me, because it’s not how I see it,” he said.
”I just do it. I just move, man. You know how gorillas move? You get me? Everything in front of them gets crushed. You get me? That’s how it is. It’s not even a competition thing. You get me? Just don’t stand in front of me.”

The singer also shared how seeing fans enjoy and dance to his music brings him great joy.
“I see it, and sometimes it brings tears to my eyes. I definitely see it. When I don’t see it, I feel it. You understand? It’s something that is my biggest excitement in the whole thing. That’s really what excites me the most about this whole journey,” he said.
“There’s been too many, man. I don’t know where to start. All the shows, all the festivals, all the awards.
I don’t know. I don’t know which one of them feels best. Hopefully, it keeps getting better. This year I kind of made up for a lot of things I couldn’t do last year. I’m thankful for that.”
Last year, “Twice As Tall”, Burna Boy’s body of work, became the first Afrobeats album to win a Grammy award.
Just last week, the Recording Academy revealed the nominations for the 2022 Grammy. “Do Yourself” by Angelique Kidjo and Burna Boy was nominated in the “Best Global Music Performance” category.
