Gillie Da King

Burna Boy recently dropped an album and revealed some juicy information about one of the tracks.

On Sunday, July 3rd, BET reported on the Nigerian rapper’s interview with the Million Dollarz Worth Of Game podcast. During the interview, Gillie Da King and Wallo267 discussed the artist’s rise to fame. They also dug into his family life, and his single “Last Last.”

Burna Boy who was born Damini Ogulu, spoke about his decision to sample Toni Braxton’s 2000 hit, “He Wasn’t Man Enough.” He said, “It was Chopsticks (his producer), but that has always been my idea, to be honest. I knew he could do something crazy, I just pointed that sh*t out, and he took it from there. That’s one of the most special creative processes.”

Burna reveals Toni Braxton profited a massive paycheck!

The 31 year old Nigerian rapper claims his main intention was to put out an awesome track, and the song was just that. He says Braxton’s pay consisted of 60% of the royalties from “Last Last.” Hoping to meet the “Un-Break My Heart” singer he says, “She is taking 60% of the sh*t, so I’m not even complaining. Hopefully, she even pops out to one of the shows.”

Burna Boy’s Rise to fame goes worldwide!

As the interview went on, Gillie and Wallo continued to question Burna about his music going global as he gains fans from all around the world, to selling out Madison Square Garden. He tells Million Dollarz Worth Of Game, “It’s is a great honor to me, but at the same time, it is something that comes with a lot of negative eyes… When you know that your purpose is bigger than any one place or person, then you begin to take life like that and see life like that.”

Drake Is The Milestone

Drake and where he is in his career has become the milestone that new rappers want to pass. Becoming larger than the Canadian native is a badge of honor. Lil Durk wasn’t being disrespectful when he answered the question, but to his crew and him, he is bigger than Drake.

The Relationship Between Lil Durk and Drake

Lil Durk has worked in the studio with the artist creating street anthems. The most popular tracks featuring both artists are “Laugh Now Cry Later” and “In The Bible.” “Life Now Cry Later” propelled Lil Durk’s career. The single went #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. “Life Now Cry Later,” is the highest-ranking song for Lil Durk and just another notch on Drake’s belt. “In The Bible” also helped Lil Durk rise to fame. Drake released the track on the Certified Lover Boy album. The album became a movement helping Lil Durk tremendously.

“He touched the youth. That’s one thing about him. He touched us and got us hotter than what the f**k we was but a lot of people can’t say that”
