Burna Boy Has Done More For Nigeria Than Our Ambassadors – Alibaba

Comedian Alibaba has lavished Afrobeat artist Burna Boy with praise.
He stated that the singer is one of the greatest ambassadors of the country.

In an interview with Channels Television, Alibaba expressed dissatisfaction with the government’s economic planning management of the entertainment business.

He referenced a projection by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group that specifically excluded the creative industry, emphasizing its importance to the country’s economic and cultural identity.
“Two years ago, the Nigerian Economic Summit Group looked into a forecast of the Nigerian economy in the next five years, and the entertainment and creative industry was not considered,” Alibaba said.
A booklet of about 200 pages was done and the creative industry was not considered. The value of the creative industry in Nigeria is beyond the country.
Alibaba emphasized Burna Boy’s value, claiming that the artist had done more to promote Nigeria on a global scale than any ambassador sent to international postings.
He complimented Nigerian musicians for their critical role in defining and disseminating the country’s cultural identity worldwide.
“Burna Boy has done a lot more for Nigerian national awareness than any ambassador that has been posted to America, the UK, or any other place. So Nigerian artistes are creating national awareness and making other countries know about us than any ambassador would have done,” he added.

Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, the world-famous, Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, who is also known as Burna Boy has said 2Baba, Timaya, D’banj, Larry Gaaga, and Wande Coal are the only veterans he respects in the Nigerian music industry.

According to the self-acclaimed ‘African Giant,’ they are the only legends who have impacted his life and career.

Burna Boy stated this while reacting to veteran producer ID Cabasa’s recent call on Nigerian singers, urging them to respect legends.

During a recent Instagram live session with fans, he said: “The only OGs who have impacted my life; number one, Timaya, because he is the one who showed me that achieving stardom was possible. I’m going to respect him for the rest of my life.

“D’banj also supported me back then. He paid for ‘Wan Da Mo’ video. These are two people I don’t joke with. It’s not like n*ggas don’t have respect, no, n*ggas have just been through a lot and we only remember the people we saw in the dark times. People like Larry Gaaga. He stood by me back then. So these are people I will respect for the rest of my life.

“When you’re talking about OGs, as far as I’m concerned, those names are the only ones in addition to 2Face based on musicality and the fact that he did a feature with me when he didn’t have to back in the days. These are OGs to me. Any other person isn’t an OG to me. ID Cabasa, you can meet Olamide and you can be an OG to him [laughs]. We’ve all been through stuff differently and we all see life differently.

“I can’t forget Wande Coal, too. At a point in time, we were so close.”
