In a recent interview, Timaya shared a memorable moment involving Burna Boy and fellow artists Omawumi and Waje. He recalled an incident when Burna Boy boldly declared that he would one day be paid to fly on private jets. At the time, private jets were not a common luxury for Nigerian artists, leading Omawumi and Waje to doubt Burna Boy’s vision. This triggered an angry response from the Grammy-winning artist, who ordered both singers out of the studio.
Timaya, reflecting on Burna Boy’s fearless determination, said, “Nothing Burna Boy is doing now surprises me. He was always confident and knew what was ahead for him.” This incident highlights Burna Boy’s unwavering belief in his future success, which has since been realized on the global stage.
