Afro-dancehall icon Timaya recently shared an unforgettable story about Burna Boy, Omawumi, and Waje during an interview with Naija FM in Lagos.

The incident, which took place years ago in a studio in Lekki, offers a glimpse into Burna Boy’s fearless determination and self-belief.

Timaya recalled a fiery studio session where Burna Boy, still on the rise at the time, confidently declared that his future held unimaginable success.

He boldly predicted that one day, he would be so successful, he’d be flying in private jets for gigs.

His audacity, however, didn’t sit well with the seasoned songstresses Omawumi and Waje. Timaya explained that the two singers expressed skepticism about Burna’s lofty ambitions.

Back then, private jets were not a common luxury for Nigerian artists, so his claim sounded far-fetched.But Burna Boy wasn’t having any of it. Refusing to entertain doubts, he stood his ground.

Fueled by his unwavering belief in his dreams, he reportedly got so frustrated with their disbelief that he asked them to leave the studio.

Yes, he actually opened the door and told Omawumi and Waje to step out.

For Timaya, this moment wasn’t just dramatic; it was defining. He saw Burna Boy’s fearless attitude and unrelenting confidence as clear signs of the greatness to come.

Reflecting on Burna Boy’s current success, Timaya admitted that nothing about his achievements surprises him.

“Burna Boy has always been fearless,” Timaya said. “That day, he told them he’d be paid to enter jets, and when they doubted him, he kicked them out. He was serious, and look at him now. He made it happen.”

The story has since sparked reactions online, with fans applauding Burna Boy’s foresight and determination.

Many are inspired by his ability to stick to his vision, even when others couldn’t see it.

This moment from years ago serves as a reminder that believing in yourself, even when no one else does, can pave the way to success.

For Burna Boy, it wasn’t just talk—it was a promise to himself, and he’s been living up to it ever since.
