Burna Boy, a Nigerian music icon, has openly criticized foreign online media sites for portraying an image of him shaving his beard.
The musician, whose beards are his distinctive style, caused a stir on the internet in 2021 when a photo of him without them went viral.
The image has reappeared, and articles about it are being published on a few foreign media sites.
In response, the Grammy-award-winning performer resorted to his Instagram story to vent his anger.
He chastised those who rely on these sites for information, calling them weirdos.
He apologized to the Nigerian media and explained that, contrary to his previous belief, Nigerian blogs were not unique in their ignorance, but had picked it up from the West.
“To all you weirdos who depend on @theshaderoom @theshadeborough and other weirdos’ blogs for your daily news. I shaved my beard in 2021 not now. But it’s good to know that for all the history I’ve been making and records I’ve been setting and breaking. You PARASITES only care about who I might have fucked, who I’m fùcking, and stupīd shit like “Burna Boy shaved his beard”. I gotta apologize to Nigerian blogs now cuz I thought their stupidity was unique. I didn’t know they learned all they know from the West”.
