Burna Boy: I’ll go shirtless if I see someone wearing the same shirt as me

Damini Ogulu, Nigerian Afrofusion artiste better known as Burna Boy, says he can go shirtless if he sees someone wearing the same shirt he is wearing at an event.
In an interview with Africa’s Finest, a fashion magazine by Guaranty Trust Bank, the ‘Ye’ singer said he is already working on his own fashion brand.
“I try to do what makes me feel like I’m swaggy, it could be a named brand or not. It just has to make me feel good. It just has to be different. For me, if it’s not different, then I don’t feel good,” he responded when asked to describe his style.
“I could go somewhere wearing a shirt, and if I see someone wearing the same shirt, I’ll take it off and just be shirtless!
“I’m working on it as we speak. It’s my ‘merch’ from my tours but the design is really giving out what I would wear. If I were to wear what I’m wearing right now, It would be all Burna Boy, it would be all my design. That’s basically it! It would be my designs on clothes that I like. I’d describe it as ‘Reckless & Sweet’.”
Listing designers he would love to collaborate with, the artiste who says his love for comic books inspired his stage name, mentioned Virgil Abloh, Off-white and Louis Vuitton.
Speaking on the inspiration behind his music genre, Burna Boy said: “I had a lot of musical influence growing up, from my grandfather’s highlife and afrobeat collection to my dad who gave me my first reggae CD. That’s why I call my genre Afro-Fusion, it’s a concoction of different elements of sound.”

Tiwa Savage opens up: I have nothing with Wizkid

Music star, Tiwa Savage, has finally lifted the lid on her cozy relationship with Star Boy, Wizkid, claiming that there was nothing attached to their relationship beyond two music stars and colleagues, who like to entertain the people with good music.

Speaking during an interview on Homerun radio programme on Soundcity radio 98.5 on Thursday, Savage, revealed that there was no time that she had any relationship with Wizkid, even as she added that she was never bothered about some of the comments and insinuations flying on social media suggesting that she was dating Star Boy.

Asked if she was under pressure to reveal the truth about their closeness to the public, the mother of one said she chose to ignore the rumour, adding that “I heard all sorts of stories about Wizkid and I, but I chose to ignore them. “At a point, people said I was dating Humblesmith; later they mentioned another (artiste?). How long will I continue to debunk these rumours. I have been in the music industry for quite a while and I have grown a thick skin, so certain rumours or insinuations don’t get to me again.”

Savage, who was also asked about the state of things between herself and former husband, TeeBlliz, the father of her son, refused to comment on her broken marriage, since “Marriage is a very sensitive matter that I would not want to delve into at this time. Whatever I say now might be taken by the other party in another way. More so, I respect TeeBlliz and our son. I don’t think it is proper to be discussiing this matter on air,” she said.

Speaking on her comaparison with Beyonce, Savage cautioned against comparing her with Beyonce, saying it was wrong for anyone to suggest that she strives to be or act like Beyonce.

“I wish people could stop comparing me to Beyonce. I respect her because she’s about the best female artiste in the world, but I don’t think I want to be like her. I would rather like to be myself. There is no basis for me to be like her or anyone. I don’t know why people think I am obsessed with her. I want to be on my lane and be known as Tiwa Savage, not Beyonce.”
