Yesterday 29th September 2020, Sahara Reporters boss and acclaimed activist, Omoyele Sowore called on Afro fusion act, Burna Boy to join the October 1st protest.
Burna Boy however refused the offer on stand that he doesn’t trust Sowore since he’s a politician and now everybody wants to be like the famed Fela after his death.
The two went back and forth multiple times but these posts have now been deleted from the pages of the two. Catch the full exchange below
First, Omoyele Sowore reached out to Burna Boy.
Burna Boy then refused the offer on basis of not wanting to trust a politician and accused Sowore of being a Fela fan only after his death, but Sowore refuted the claims and backed it up with how he had been a student leader. Then he challenged Burna Boy to be Fela if he wants to be Fela.
Burna Boy refused get again saying he’s NOT FELA and told Sowore to leave him out of his political schemes, but Sowore once again challenged him to move past the comparisons With Fela and actually show character.
