burna is as thick as two planks of wood when school matters but still has a hell of doe and is very socially and culturally inteligent. big up burna for showing us that inteligence is knowing where and how to source the information rather than being a storage of information

[@abrakuma]

Both 1) knowing where and how to source the information as well as 2) being a storage for the mass of information are necessary to be successful because we may not always have ready access to the information that is outside of ourselves.

I think the interviewers should do better research before the artist arrive. This could have been a more upbeat conversation had they asked questions that Burna Boy has not answered before.
