Grammy-winning artist Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, is making headlines again. A video showing him smashing someone’s phone for trying to record his unreleased music has sparked mixed reactions online.
In the clip, Burna Boy was hanging out with friends, including King Manny, dancer Pocolee, and socialite Rahman Jago. During the relaxed session, the “Last Last” crooner decided to preview a track from his upcoming album.
Fans have been buzzing with excitement since the release of his 2023 album I Told Them, and this unreleased song heightened the anticipation.
While the group vibed to the new track, one individual decided to film the moment without permission. Burna Boy caught the act and immediately smashed the phone, leaving the room in shock.
The incident triggered a wave of reactions online. Some fans supported Burna Boy’s actions, arguing that privacy and respect are crucial when dealing with an artist’s creative process. Others criticized him, saying he could have handled the situation differently.
One commenter remarked, “Davido would never do this. That’s why we love him.” Another said, “This isn’t about being soft or harsh. Burna Boy values his art, and he’s not here for games”.
A user shared a personal experience with Zlatan Ibile, saying, “When my guy tried recording Zlatan’s unreleased track, he calmly asked him to delete it. Life doesn’t have to be this dramatic”.
Other fans empathized with Burna Boy, believing the recording might have violated a prior warning. “Maybe Burna already told him not to record, and he still did it. Respect boundaries, especially with someone at Burna’s level,” one person noted.
Still, some commenters saw humor in the situation. “It’s almost 2025, and you haven’t thanked God for life? Yet, here you are recording Burna Boy without asking!”
The incident sheds light on the delicate balance between artists and their fans. For creatives like Burna Boy, protecting unreleased work is non-negotiable.
While his reaction may have seemed harsh, it also underscores the importance of respecting boundaries in personal spaces.
As Burna Boy gears up to drop his new album, fans eagerly await the final product. However, this episode serves as a reminder to keep the phones away when artists are in their element!
