Singer Damini Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, has caused a stir online as he reveals the names of artists who paved way for him in the industry.
In an Instagram Live, he disclosed that 2baba, Timaya, Dbanj, Larry Gaga and Wande Coal are the only veterans he respected in the music industry. He stressed that they were the only legends tremendously impacting his life and career.
He said: “The only OGs who have impacted my life, number one, Timaya because he is the one who showed me that achieving stardom was possible. I’m going to respect him for the rest of my life.
D’banj also supported me back then. He paid for the ‘Wan Da Mo’ video. These are two people I don’t joke with. It’s not like nggas don’t have respect; no, nggas have just been through a lot, and we only remember the people we saw in the dark times. People like Larry Gaaga. He stood by me back then. So, these are people I will respect for the rest of my life.
When you’re talking about OGs, as far as I’m concerned, those names are the only ones in addition to 2Face based on musicality and the fact that he did a feature with me when he didn’t have to back in the day. These are OGs to me. Any other person isn’t an OG to me. ID Cabasa, you can meet Olamide, and you can be an OG to him [laughs]. We’ve all been through stuff differently, and we all see life differently.
I can’t forget Wande Coal, too. At a point in time, we were so close.”
