"We're only as strong as our roots." Preach brother! So proud of u.

[@donfreddie2498]

[@yoowuzgud]

We need more conversations between Africans and African-Americans. There is so much misunderstanding between the two

yoowuzgud Thank you for stating this. We need to keep it going with love.🥰

[@lucasmartin4883]

I'm African, to me sometimes it feels like African Americans look down upon our culture and ways of life. We listen to your music and dress like you sometimes but we don't feel that same love in return. That disconnect is strong

[@queeniwearth]

@@lucasmartin4883 I agree. I am a Nigerian-American-first generation. Both of my parents are from Nigeria. There is ignorance on both sides and both are influenced by destructive colonial tactics. It is a task to get both sides to understand the truth of identity.

[@dariusgreen1137]

@SoLucky I’m African American and growing up here in America we were miseducated on Africa. I think it’s a task on both sides to come together but more on our side being African Americans to unlearn the bullshit we were taught and search and discover the truth about our homeland and people in Africa. I think more than ever tho we as African Americans are starting to discover that truth and slowly bridge that gap. It helps when artists like Burna Boy and Akon shed a light on their native countries in Africa and change our perspective. Just bare with us we’re coming home soon lol

[@KayyOna]

I understand why Burna was finding it hard to articulate his thoughts in this interview, he’s not trying to condescend or say anything that’s going to harm his budding international status. I’m a long time fan of Burna ❤️

[@DonInADress]

Loool I think when he was saying English is hard for him, it was because he wanted to say something that makes sense in Yoruba but doesn’t translate well. Of course his command of English is perfect but to articulate himself in a ‘coded’ way was probably what he was struggling with. I feel like in general he was trying too hard to be diplomatic. He should of just let the pidgin, Yoruba or uncoded language fly. Those who hear will hear

[@SESmithy]

I find that a lot of people I talk to who speak english as a second language say that English is very limiting. They always say that they can't say it in English. Its crazy actually....wish I spoke more than one language.

[@hassanlawal5579]

Don, you hit the bullseye with your observation. I'm Nigerian (half Yoruba, and half Hausa). I speak 6 Nigeran languages fluently. I have the same problem like Burna Boy. When I tell my friends and colleagues here in Houston,Texas that I have a problem with English language.....they just laugh at me, and they all like "what the f..k did he just say!!!?" Sometimes, I wanna tell them something that would make sense if it was said in an African language.........but wouldn't translate well in English. I think I have an excellent command of the English language. But there are moments when I just fight really hard to find the right words to get my point across.

[@hassanlawal5579]

SESmithy, it is absolutely true. Sometimes English can be "very limiting. You have to speak English as a second language to understand how "limiting" it could be.

True, but their education system in Nigeria is no joke.

Education matters if you can afford it or find people willing to teach you for the low.

@@agbaya5314 respect to you my brother. One Africa for all.

"English is a bit hard for me" come on Burna😏 you were just being very very cautious...not wanting to come across as ...harsh.

[@Tiger_brave]

We know right lol

[@YakThaWiseman72]

I agree

[@Trailblazers323]

Liz Abwooli Half of the Nigerian population is super brainwashed too. Don’t get it twisted. Just because Africans are in Africa doesn’t make them automatically enlightened.

[@Tiger_brave]

@@Trailblazers323 I agree but not half the population miss...30% is a fair percentage just like we are aware that not all AA are brainwashed but significant few

[@utd927]

i don't think english is hard for him the guy was talking with a british accent in loads of other interviews 😂😂

[@katlegostefaans6290]

I love when he says “Do you understand?”🥰🥰

[@nobad6134]

I'm a big Burna fan but don't feel like his speaking skills did him justice in this interview. The music speaks for itself because he is bloody fire!

[@slysteel7227]

He sounds autistic to me,obviously has poor social skills but his music is good

[@michaelamegatcher7855]

Burna boy on Sway, Am very Glad that Africa we are getting there.

[@laurettabraun7381]

The fact that you see Burna boy on sway as We as AFRICANS moving forward tells us everything that's wrong with Africa. smh

[@leeyojr4804]

Keep flyin BURNA and keep spreading African music around the globe. SWAY thank u for giving African artist the opportunity for the world to hear what we have in terms of music too. Good interview 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@Ella-hu6ds]

Love seeing the interaction between Africans and African Americans, always been curious about it. Watching from the continent and so proud. Looking forward to learn more about/from African Americans. After watching black panther I realised I didn't know anything about African americans.

That's what I'm talking about ... Shout out to Burna Boy ... Bring us back home ... Salute to the big homie ... Thanks sway for bringing these kats to us on the air waves ...

[@singuensful]

Burna Boy got hits after hits. Im positive he will be bigger in the west like Davido. He’s so handsome too

[@keishajohnson5823]

"Africa unite" my FOOT!!!. your people are busy killing my people, and you're here posting NONSENSE comment about "Africa unite"???! mitchewwwwww

[@egnaliromeo1007]

Y’all xenophobic people

[@damienglover1737]

Modern Africa AFRICA UNITE, don’t change ur message.

[@AizenIPlannedIt]

@@egnaliromeo1007Most of the social media videos of "Xenophobia" are fake news. Random vigilante justice videos. Sometimes even with Spanish spoken in the background. LOL! Three people were killed in Durban South Africa. Starting with a South African killed by foreigners and then retaliation! All the pretense on social media about massive violence is exaggerated. Malawians left one neighborhood out of precaution and then came back. (This translated to 500 Malawians "displaced") This simply does not affect most people even in the one area that this was in!

[@kUsha102]

That bridge that you ask about between the west and Africa is RASTAFARI 🔥

[@cjtones7539]

Burna boy smashed it! What a real af interview!! Awkward high moments at times, but if he isn't just another actor, man's a Genius!!

[@MichaelEMJAYJohnson]

Sway said "Yee", Lol....its pronounced "Y-ay", like Hey, Play, Say,.......but thanks for having Burna on the show.

[@kunleajetunmobi1561]

Deadass. He got me cracking tf up. 😂
