Burna Boy Cried After Duncan Mighty Rejection
Nigerian singer Yinka Lawanson, popularly known as Lamb, has shared a touching story about Burna Boy’s early days in music.
Speaking on a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, Lamb said the Grammy-winning star once broke down in tears after Duncan Mighty, the popular Port Harcourt musician, refused to feature on a song with him.
Lamb said Burna Boy reportedly told Duncan Mighty that he would one day ask him for the same collaboration again.

He stressed that Burna Boy’s journey was filled with rejection and tough times, but he pushed through because of his strong belief in himself.
According to Lamb, Burna Boy should grant more podcast interviews, but not to talk about cars and fame. Instead, he should be asked deep questions about his belief system, which Lamb described as a major part of his success.
“Burna Boy is sitting on a level of mastery that is not being talked about. Aside from King Sunny Ade, Fela and the other legends, Burna Boy is the first artist that I started studying. It is not about the hit songs but his musical mastery,” he said.
