Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy has reacted to the ongoing nationwide protest against hunger..
Nigerians on Thursday stormed the streets to express their dissatisfaction over bad governance and the hike in food prices.
Taking to his X account, Burna Boy said that the fight in him for protest died during the EndSARS protest in 2020.
He warned his fans against calling his name this time around that a protest is rife across the country.
He wrote, while quoting a tweet he posted on October 20, 2020, “The fight in me Died on this day. Ogun go doggy anybody wey call my name this time around”.

Paul Okoye, aka Rudeboy, a member of the PSquare duo has confirmed that the record-breaking group has split again.
Recall that the group which consists of Paul and his twin brother, Peter Okoye aka Mr P, first split in 2016 but reunited in 2021.
In a recent interview with City FM, Lagos, Rudeboy confirmed that the group has broken up again.
“The plan of our coming back together was going to produce a lot of hit albums. But as it is now, I’m just focusing on Rudeboy. Trust me, it is not everything that I would want to say,” he said.
“I was being accused of saying that he [Peter] was the dancer and I’m the singer. I know whenever we go to the airport, people ask are you a singer or a dancer? I didn’t know it was touching him. But I know there was a time we came together and said, ‘don’t allow this thing get to you, you should be proud of what you’re doing. That’s the role you’re playing.’
“We have a song we did with T.I, ‘Eja Jo’. That was when the issue started. Till today, that song is still on 3 million views because people didn’t hear the PSquare’s voice that they are used to.
“When we came back together, because I didn’t want the issues that happened before, I told my brother to show himself, let us be involved in the creative process together. I told him we should share who carries the tracks equally but still, it wasn’t working.
“The new PSquare was peaceful. I needed the past mistakes not to repeat themselves. But then again he [Peter] said he’s no more doing [no longer interested]. In fact, he told me in the face that he wants to quit. I asked if we could make it public and he refused. But what will happen when I go solo? People will call me the bad person. That’s why I’m speaking up now.”
