He was probably a teen then. Completely normal. But when you grow, you begin to understand the importance of being proud of who you are and your roots.
Years ago in England being African was a diss. I never understood it as a UK boy with Caribbean parents, but African boys themselves used to try call me African to tease and insult me lol it was weird. And girls that liked black guys far preferred Caribbean guys. African pride in the UK is very recent.
You will not know the reason why many Nigerians aren't proud of their country. A country blessed with resources and talents, but its leaders are just looting instead of developing. He struggled to get to the level he is at through his sweat because the government contributed nothing to the development of its people. When a country doesn't care about the talents and well-being of its people, what will the people be proud of?
How did us blacks start to feel that heat? Is it different over there? I'm genuinely asking because I'm a Ghanaian and back in school when someone made fun of you, you did same back. It never really got to most people
When you're growing up in Nigeria, you're inundated with international media and you'll find that some people say things like "I don't listen to Nigerian music" with pride. When you leave the country and spend some years away from home, you start to love who you are and where you're from because there's no place like home, especially when you experience "certain events" because of the colour of your skin.
The reason why we don't proud to be a Nigerian back then was Bec of our government our fuckin politicians.. our artists making us proud of Nigeria now Bec we go global already
@@MarkDeibert-pk7tbNigerian politicians don't respect it's citizens and whenever the citizens protest to change the country the government of Nigeria wound send army, and police to gun down it's citizens. Where a president like Tinubu who didn't win Election and he forged his university result. Do worry the Nigerian Citizens would still come for them let them continue shielding themselves with Army and police.
@@CiscoEmmanuelno you shut it!!never at a point in my life...will i feel like a foreign country is more like it...naaa....he left Nigeria to realize that..
I didn’t want to be Liberian growing up, I use to never tell anyone until I met some Nigerians in 9th grade who made proud to be Liberian and come find out they said the were proud to be Nigerian when they us Liberian lol.. this story is relatable becuz the pressure of the world will make you hate from where you come from. This is more then a story here in the United States
Many could relate especially if you've ever been mocked in school or called "africa booty scratcher". Most Nigerian kids would claim 'Jamaican' just to avoid being mocked. But look at us now! Even non Nigerians want to be Nigerians😂
@@alfredetepe3419....not sure why you said that, but i think thats incorrect....in my almost 3 decades of living in the UK...sorry i cant even remenber hearing ot seeing any Nigerian i worked with or socialise with claim Jamaican......NO WAYYYYY
Definitely agree. In school we got teased and called names like African boo boo etc for being us and this was by our own fellow black brothers and sisters so seeing how Afrobeats have blown up and seeing African music is recognised and loved on a mass scale is amazing 😊
@@oluggbal3005I'm not sure which part of UK you lived in but as someone of west african descent who was born and raised in London OP is speaking 100% facts. It wasn't just nigerians but a lot of West Africans used to claim Jamaica. I lived it and saw it growing up. It's only in the mid 2000s onwards it became cools to be African. But 90s and early 2000s were long for African kids. If you could get away with saying your Jamaican or some other Caribbean country you would claim it. All our names were Dwayne back then 😂
every Nigerian living in United State can testify to this…I’m always surprised when our African American brother’s and sister here in the USA always says we think we better than them. back then, The same black American are the one always bullies Africans in the US. since have been living here in United State for 18 years. have heard more black American told me to go back to my Country or calling us African booty scratcher but thank God for our beautiful Afro music. now everybody want to be friends with us. BLACK UNITY IS THE MOST STRONGEST MOST POWERFUL THINGS TO GET OUT OF SLAVERY MENTALITY
They did the same with Caribbean folks,now the Caribbean folks choose to surround themselves with their own and support their own! People don’t realize why things are the way they are until they look back at where it began!
This is true we were turned against each other. Let’s us call each other by our original tribal names. We are Amrakhan Indians. Please research Walter Plecker and see the Emblem of America. 🙌🏿🙌🏾🪶
African booty scratcher lol. Ain't heard that one in a long time... hopefully we all can get past our differences and realize we all should have the same goals and morals ❤❤
It’s a program bro you’d be surprised how much is black Americans weren’t taught about our own people in school. Divide and conquer was the plan. But now we have chance to change that. One love. #Blackunity
@@okeogheneoneyibo i don’t think what you are referring to is what Burna is really saying though. He was talking about his childhood perspectives in UK and not the portrayal of Nigeria.
@@VQ.24 thank you. I feel every child felt that way in the 90s. Burna was a child and was only talking from his childhood experiences and not from the portrayal of the country Nigeria.
Black American and I'd disagree cuz anyone can have this feeling. *Although he didn't explain it well cuz of some "apps" and more mumbles. What I did get is he got made fun of and no one likes that. Being in Nigeria made me proud for y'all managing your tribes+ have PIDGIN* That's true survival. Even when others tried to break y'all.
He is saying rubbish. Would he swap his mother's love for oyinbo's love just because his mother is poor probably not. I wouldn't swap being a proud Nigerian just because my country is not going in the right direction. I can never be accepted anywhere else as a citizen no matter the love they portray to show ,it will soon wear off.
Especially one in the diaspora. Them folks would clown u, call u 419, all sorts😅 I feel u dawg , times are diff now hence why some of these folks talking shit like “that could never be me” “I’m proud n Nigerian” because of those that came before you who paid the price lol. 👏🏾
We all go thru moments when we are trying to figure ourselves out. As he’s said on one of his tracks, I’M ONLY HUMAN” as we all are. We have to step out to figure things out sometimes. When it’s all said & done, He’s a proud Nigerian and embraces it. Much love and respect Burna Boy 💪🏽✨🇳🇬
At least he’s being honest about his experience. But it’s so sad to hear this. I’m glad he found his way as a Nigerian man. It’s beautiful to be who you are ✨
That’s how I felt as a Nigerian Americans made fun of my last name but I was born American I would shy away from being Nigerian it didn’t take until I realized I should be proud of my culture no matter what cause in the end America would never embrace me like my roots will even though I’m American
Meanwhile, as a child growing up in America, I always embraced my African friends especially Nigerian and wanted to know everything about Nigeria and Africa as I grew up with a great sense of pride instilled in me by my proAfrican black family. 30 years later,I take a DNA ancestry test and a girl is Nigerian! Look at God-won't He do it!
@@KingofgraceSARAI don’t know if it’s my period but I got slightly emotional. Hopefully you’re able to fully connect with your roots if that’s something you’re interested in doing. Love from Nigeria ❤
Divide is error , do you know how many lauguage, he talk Rubbish...I'm Nigeria 🇳🇬...even Fela..do more than you he doesn't talk that rubbish he saying...I just love ur SOKE..song... remember you already born in 🇳🇬
It’s so sad to see that people literally would deny where they are from because of meaningless reasons, regardless of things said about us I have always said I am Nigerian and I have stood by it, I live in the UK and I have given my children Nigerian names … it’s a shame not to be proud of where you from
You need to watch the complete interview to understand what he was saying, even his earlier music were not Afrobeats, until he came back to Nigeria and his grandfather advised him to change his music to afro sound
His earlier music was afrobeats only that he also had many reggae, dancehall and RnB songs and also fused pidgin, yoruba, English and patois Infact most of his earlier songs where afrobeats. Like to party, tonight, my cry, intro (my life), don gorgon, no no no, abeg abeg and so many more.
am a Full Nigerian and I will die a Nigerian and I will never die in a white man's county I will die in my own precious home,be proud of what God have given to you, without Nigerian nobody will no you or recognize your music
I don’t know what he meant by that…but I’ve never stopped being proud of Being a Nigerian. No matter the struggles and everything… it is a blessed country..filled with talents and gifted ppl with potential
It makes sense. Africa has been talked down on so many times. We Africans are still getting shitted on. I still can’t believe I was born in Liberia and actually lived there. It really does take time🥹
Living in the UK early 2000s to early 2010s a lot of people were embarrassed to be from their African roots only people who would proudly say what country they’re from were the Somalis and they’d get dragged for it…we ignore how fucked up the UK and it’s racism has been on our mental man
You got to understand what he meant, am Nigerian 🇳🇬, born and bred in the UK, growing up we didn’t have any role model (Outside of family) to look up to, my mates of Caribbean descent had many, so you either align yourself with them or go with anything UKish. Am 45 years old now and it took the last 5 years of my life to really get myself into anything Nigerian. And got to say in part thanks to afrobeats, now am going to Nigeria at the end of October to really discover more about myself and the place. Going to travel from Lagos to Abeokuta and really dig deep.
Now you see there is no place like home when you left for UK...the music's hits better, the acceptance at home is better than acceptance out there....there is less ego at home...ppl at there will show you their ego...then the government may piss you off in Nigeria..stay proud of your country..some idiots use internet to degrade Nigeria 24/7 so the good things wont be talked about..be wise
American/Venezuelan here... And i was like damn... We are one of the most violent countries in the world.. Mayor drug hub.. Rampant inflation, economic disaster.. The only thing I was proud of was our baseball players, and our beautiful women
Well am a Nigerian, I’m not proud of Nigeria for treating us this way. But at the same time, I have to be proud of my country because there’s no place like home… I am an upcoming musician and no support I am looking at someone to sponsor me to the USA to start my career and I will forever be indebted and grateful to this person for life
This dude is real to the core for anyone who left naija as a child or teen back in the days, bro you can relate 100%. 💯 they would clown your accent and all sorts. For those who don’t understand simple English he said back then but now he is obviously proud of naija.
Same here! Born in Washington DC, raised in Nigeria. Came back to USA Los Angeles in my teenage! Went to highschool and my fellow black American brothers gave it to me THE WORST! Latinos embraced me, Asians , everyone but my brothers! It was still love on my side though cuz I was a mature teenager so I never really took offense to it! Plus, ain’t no clowning an American can do that ain’t been done 1000000000 times worse in Africa 😂 so with time African American brothers locked in with me! But he’s right, it wasn’t the easiest thing to navigate if you aren’t strong spirited! ALSO, I had the SAME FELA revelation in my 20s! Long story short, I was in Nigeria when Fela died! I was in Lagos! I remember the area boys TEARING LAGOS APART in protest and celebration of Fela! But I come from an affluent household where Fela was a “thug”! The fam respected him and celebrated him but you know naija classism! They saw him as razz! Well, fast forward a couple years the FELA Play comes to Los Angeles! I went to see the show! The way the GLOBAL AUDIENCE saw Fela as a god SHOCKED ME ! Name the race of people, they were in the audience! CRYINGGGG, dancing etc! If you’ve seen the play, that transition from the charismatic Fela to when they killed his mom and then the new Fela showed up !!!!!! OH MY!!!!!!!
You should always be proud of your people. I'm Black American and people always talk down on us but I'm proud to be Black American. The things my people have accomplished, the soul we possess and and our history. ❤
I have this belief that round about when Burna’s music started going global, so did other African beats, then slowly being Nigerian and African had more power from the music even though there was many other things to be proud
🌬❤❤❤You are a Very Handsome Nigerian even without all the fame and glory, listening to you speak is impressive, coming from your state of mind you should be happy of your success and I am happy for you, yes very proud of you!😊🌬
I fell in Love with Nigeria from my 1st visit. Not only the place but the people with such a rich culture funny people and culture and more importantly seeing so many black people in unison in one place shoulder to shoulder. Trini American understanding the African diaspora. Don’t let them fool you…know your roots.
What is there to be proud of though right now as a Nigerian? it’s all good to rep where you come from but what are we proud of exactly because Nigeria hasn’t moved forward like ever.
He was probably a teen then. Completely normal. But when you grow, you begin to understand the importance of being proud of who you are and your roots.

True talk. I just love him.
The most honest Nigerian maybe lol
It is so true what Burna boy is saying. When you move abroad and start school, kids will make fun of you, especially when you're African.
How did us blacks start to feel that heat? Is it different over there? I'm genuinely asking because I'm a Ghanaian and back in school when someone made fun of you, you did same back.
It never really got to most people
We were made fun of even when we were born abroad, born and raised.
@@SASK_M_YBurna only means in a playful way
In the past, Yea. Today, no.
Sad, smh
Almost every Nigerian can relate. I wasn't proud to be Nigerian as well. Afro music doing us proud worldwide. Our government still ass though
So do y’all people, next to Mexicans & Latin Americans, Nigerians are the kings of illegal immigration
Like most of the African governments 😢
Afrobeats is just a trend. It will come to an end one day.
@@sladewilson377 Never heard of a music genre coming to an end. Even classical music that first started in the 1750s is still performed till date.

I used to feel the same way about being haitian 🇭🇹 but now I have indulged in my culture more than I ever have
Good to see that
I can relate. I came from Haiti, and in school kids would call me boat and make fun of me for having an accent.
They used to clown Haitians when I was in high school saying they ate cat

That Nigerian accent is life. I love it❤❤❤
Love him!
Well am a Nigerian, I’m not proud of Nigeria for treating us this way. But at the same time, I have to be proud of my country because there’s no place like home… I am an upcoming musician and no support I am looking at someone to sponsor me to the USA to start my career and I will forever be indebted and grateful to this person for life
You were in the UK and that colonist mind started to set in. You always should be proud of who you are
I am proud of my beloved country Nigeria ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't equate myself with any Country or Continent.....I claim and are Proud to be Holy of God 😮
My ex who’s Nigerian felt this way when he was a youngin growing up in Nigeria. Now that he is a man and understands his culture he embraces it. 🇳🇪
Crazy! I personally think Nigeria is the front runner of all Africa from education to sport to entertainment.
This dude is real to the core for anyone who left naija as a child or teen back in the days, bro you can relate 100%. 💯 they would clown your accent and all sorts. For those who don’t understand simple English he said back then but now he is obviously proud of naija.
Love who you are and what you come from. No matter what
Same here! Born in Washington DC, raised in Nigeria. Came back to USA Los Angeles in my teenage! Went to highschool and my fellow black American brothers gave it to me THE WORST! Latinos embraced me, Asians , everyone but my brothers! It was still love on my side though cuz I was a mature teenager so I never really took offense to it! Plus, ain’t no clowning an American can do that ain’t been done 1000000000 times worse in Africa 😂 so with time African American brothers locked in with me! But he’s right, it wasn’t the easiest thing to navigate if you aren’t strong spirited!
ALSO, I had the SAME FELA revelation in my 20s! Long story short, I was in Nigeria when Fela died! I was in Lagos! I remember the area boys TEARING LAGOS APART in protest and celebration of Fela! But I come from an affluent household where Fela was a “thug”! The fam respected him and celebrated him but you know naija classism! They saw him as razz! Well, fast forward a couple years the FELA Play comes to Los Angeles! I went to see the show! The way the GLOBAL AUDIENCE saw Fela as a god SHOCKED ME ! Name the race of people, they were in the audience! CRYINGGGG, dancing etc! If you’ve seen the play, that transition from the charismatic Fela to when they killed his mom and then the new Fela showed up !!!!!! OH MY!!!!!!!
Always be proud of who you are where you came from.Some of us have been here.
You should always be proud of your people. I'm Black American and people always talk down on us but I'm proud to be Black American. The things my people have accomplished, the soul we possess and and our history. ❤
am proud to be a Nigeria 🇳🇬 🙌 👏 🙏
I wasn't proud to be Nigerian before too...buh with age comes understanding
Tbh i felt the same when i was a teen. I wanted to be anything but Nigerian but now i have so much pride in my culture
I have this belief that round about when Burna’s music started going global, so did other African beats, then slowly being Nigerian and African had more power from the music even though there was many other things to be proud
It takes a minute to really understand yourself, Once you leave home , You become more grateful for things you have and what /Who you are.
I fucks with my Nigerian bros and sisters,
I completely agree. I've lived outside Nigeria for 20 years, visiting occasionally, i eventually started becoming proud to be Nigerian
🌬❤❤❤You are a Very Handsome Nigerian even without all the fame and glory, listening to you speak is impressive, coming from your state of mind you should be happy of your success and I am happy for you, yes very proud of you!😊🌬
Love what God made you love yourself
Whether good or bad, I will be ever proud to be a Nigerian. There's no perfect country on earth, Bro.
He is now that's all that matters. I wasn't proud either until I was older and was exposed more to the positive aspects of the culture
😎
I wouldn't want to be a scam either 😂😂
Burna is the most humble and classiest artist about
Davido feels the same in 🇺🇸 but he will never admit it
The accent is beautiful, his talents are incredible,
I fell in Love with Nigeria from my 1st visit. Not only the place but the people with such a rich culture funny people and culture and more importantly seeing so many black people in unison in one place shoulder to shoulder. Trini American understanding the African diaspora. Don’t let them fool you…know your roots.
I hope you are proud now because your country is blessed in its own way, Nollywood, Music etc
Then, he wasn't proud.... But he is a proud Nigerian now.
❤️ hope that now all
African youths in the diaspora can grow up proud of their heritage
We understand honey!! You are still an AMAZING MAN…. you take care of family !! ❤❤❤
What is there to be proud of though right now as a Nigerian? it’s all good to rep where you come from but what are we proud of exactly because Nigeria hasn’t moved forward like ever.
Hmm
Many of us have gone through cycles of self-hatred when we were young (I went thru the same thing living in America).
