[@juswolf22]

Shoutout to his mother for letting her son do him, so many parents try and discourage they children from their dreams.

[@Lok3grm]

Much respect. Burna's Mom said that Burna winning the Grammy wasn't a dream anymore but an expectation.. and this was back in 2019... Crazy Fam.

[@toupefranklin9873]

This was excellent. Burna has the music in him, it’s effortless and moving. I listened to Fela Kuti everyday going visit my mom when she was terminal and the music lifted me up. But then she passed 2015, I stopped listening to him then. But Burna popped up one day and I’m so glad I listened. This year 2021 I heard Burna and his music has helped and I hope it’s helped others thru these strange and difficult times. Congratulations Burna, well deserved!

[@IkesLionsDen]

@@jamaicanice1522 not true at all. Most are indeed African

[@jamaicanice1522]

@@IkesLionsDen lie most grew up in The Uk or America, and dont even try to discredit me because you know thts just a water down version of African music to suite westerners..Yall took Reggae,DANCEHALL,Soca and House music to make Afrobeat ,thats why they all sound alike,,yall found a formula that works and yall trying to recreate it each time,but the well sopn run dry.

[@lifeofchinonso]

His music saved my life. Glory be to God!

[@adaokoye493]

Thank you KZbin for taking the time to highlight one of the greatest African artists of this generation and for showcasing our beautiful country. Nigeria no dey carry last oooo 🇳🇬

[@Stratocaster01]

With such a well spoken mom and a big Don of Nigerian music for a grandpa, it’s no wonder his career is going stratospheric. His grandpa, Benson Idonije will educate you across musical genre in Nigeria from Apala to Afrobeat. Burna Boy almost lifted the roof off Eko Hotel last December. His ilk are the true heros of everyday Nigerians - inspirational creativity from nothing to global stardom.

[@francescap2340]

I am in awe of how much his mother recognized who her son really was at such a young age.

[@Trinijojo]

5000 people to see Burna perform at Prospect Park Brooklyn, Friday July 19th, 2019. OMG, it was 100 degrees humid hot nite and he had everyone jumping around and singing. He gives a good show. Burna is frigging awesome

[@lifeofchinonso]

The production on this video is amazing. The last segment and transition into Ye gave me chills . BIG UPS BURNA!!!! The Voice of Nigeria and AfroBeats

[@donaldoloruntobo8032]

Being a born in Nigeria and raised in another country sometimes I feel like I can’t relate to home, to being a proud African male. But when I here his music I can not explain what it is but it gives me a inspired feeling I feel like I can relate to my home through his music.

[@Trinijojo]

I'm back. This is my 3rd time watching this documentary. The way he hugged his mummy at 4:56. Probably a great feeling that his show was sold out. It was only the beginning for him, things got even better. The parking lot scene was awesome. Burna Boy is the greatest artist in Africa.

[@MrJamizee]

Mark my words, Burna Boy will be the Greatest Star to walk this planet. And Fela paved the way.

[@Samuelkings]

Wow this sends chills through my body, greatness has awoken , Burna is the next Fela, hands down

[@gloria9157]

No he’s the first and only Burna boy

[@rosemiller1448]

We , Jamaicans, love Burna Boy and what he stands for. His singing is relevant and conscious

[@diketsondlovu8579]

This guy's has always been my favourite Nigerian musician .since forever ....Davido and wizzy made their songs and I didn't move being a fan of Burna Boy ....They call him burna boy .....all the love from South Africa

[@joanessabarlow1139]

As a new person to the African Nigerian musical wonders I am head over heels in love with this Man. Mother Burna Excellent job. Your family seems amazing and loving towards one another and the people of the world. Thank you for sharing all of your gifts. I'm 56 years old and I'm ready to see Africa because of this and many others from my culture. Music is my life so I started here but I fully intend to become a reconnected part of my African heritage . God bless you all.

[@Winis_World]

I absolutely LOVED every second of this documentary. It's so inspiring to see/hear his journey and to see how far Burna Boy has come. Bless him, his mother, family, friends and everyone that has supported and continue to support his journey!

[@ahoemwenaibangbee3039]

Fantastic!!!!

[@elviahuertalopez4938]

Mr. Burnaboy's thank you very much!!! for his art by him. I am very grateful to the divine for touching my heart through Africa - Nigeria. I have learned to immerse myself in the most sensitive fibers of every human being that can transmit what LIFE itself is. The vision to create music like you do Burna Boy is a sacred antidote to heal our lives that goes beyond being and the vibrations of hope and love come. I am sure that today I have a real reason to continue living with the bond that adheres me specifically to the love I feel for Nigeria and the love of a Nigerian man who came into my life offering his history, his customs and his taste for music . It is incredible to see the essence of Nigeria reflected in friendship, joy, tenderness and love. Thanks to my friend I got to this divine and beautiful madness of his music from him. Receive warm regards to you Mr. Burnaboy's and his team of musicians from him. My admiration and respect.🇲🇽❤💗🇳🇬

Hi Burna this is Gloria from Hammond Indiana. Yesss this is the story I was hoping to see. It tells a lot how you came to be. I thank your mother and family for sharing this with us. I agree with your Mom and you that Utube has made it possible for persons like me to visit anywhere in the world and learn about others outside of our everyday lives. I may not be able to physically go on every tour or every journey with you but I can travel on Utube with you and enjoy your adventures, music, and continue being happy for you as you continue to shine the light on the beautiful country of AFRICA and the talented beautiful people that live there. I noticed that eventhough you can hold down a stage by yourself you take the time to share that platform with others, and that is a beautiful respectful thing. Thank You Burna please keep up the good work. Your Mom is an excellent Manager. Mom knows best!!

[@ozzythestunner]

It's only right that Burna Boy becomes big nau. It was only a matter of time. He's still gonna go even bigger. The world would acknowledge him. He's something special. Something like Fela. Nobody from Africa comes close right now. When I meet you one day Burna, all I'd want to do is try my best to convince you that I'm your biggest fan. I promise I'll try my best.
