He’s the “The Nigerian Singer Putting Africa First”! Burna Boy gets featured on FADER

Just last week Wizkid was featured on FADER and now another Nigerian artist has made it on the UK magazine.
Burna Boy is described as “The Nigerian Singer Putting Africa First” and in his interview he talks about his influences and the politics of the music industry in Nigeria.
FADER describes their experience in the following words:
By the time we get to Burna Boy’s house in Lagos on the night of Halloween, it’s around 11:30 pm and the noise from a nearby generator is buzzing against the soft sound of falling rain. Two armed soldiers follow Burna Boy wherever he goes and, tonight, he’s just getting in from a show in Ikeja, a neighborhood on the other side of the sprawling city. Many of Nigeria’s major pop stars were enlisted to perform at an event sponsored by a telecoms company, but instead of sticking around to mingle with elder statesmen like P-Square, Burna leaves right away…Over the course of an hour-long conversation, fueled by a couple of joints and some Hennessy, Burna Boy opened up about his influences, the politics of Nigeria’s music industry, and why American artists need Africa.
