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 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.”
