His accent is so unique, it’s like American/British/Nigerian

[@user-em4ox7rw8g]

Tegan Munday he’s never lived in america but you can definitely here the influence I suppose from touring and being that America is a huge influence on the world musically etc .... but really he’s a Nigerian who was raised in London a lot of his youth so any accent outside of that is questionable 😂

[@akikiaovie]

There is no Nigerian accent specifically because different tribes have their accents but in southern Nigeria there is a centrist accent that’s the accent you see in most people who are middle class in Nigeria and went to proper schools like Burna boy but that centrist accent still depends on your leaning balance within the tribes you are around at school

That why your people as to butcher Nigeria people in the name of searching Also other African country too, why are you people Chanel the division of African everyday anyway that is the plan of our colonial master I know they didn't successeded to colonize Ethiopia physically but they control there and turn then again their brothers in Africa.

Burna’s mindset on educating, empowering, enlighten our people to look up and see your strength. In history class the teacher told us in junior high school that the people from Africa don’t like the black people from America and didn’t like that we’re called African Americans. Thank God Burna checked the Chocella marketing and promotion and investment team about down playing his impact in the music industry. A few days ago I saw he’s born on the same day as me. God I’m grateful that he’s the face for something I wanted to say about us coming together and know that are roots are from Africa. Ancestry. com just helped me know the country. Cameroon 🇨🇲 🇧🇯 🇹🇬

[@modernwomanTv]

i loved his music before it blew globally. I'm attracted to his unique perspective, drive and his rebellistic tone in music. He is so different and its great that the world caught on to it too. More success Burna
