Shoutout to Black Americans for having one of the most influential cultures on the planet ❤️⚜️🖤
👑💪🏾
Really. Most influential??
@@MpDeuce3easily.
Who said otherwise so you came too the interview just to say that you do feel threatened by Burna boy. He is trying to unite black people whats wrong with that !
Respect... black American culture is the most influential
I swear I can listen to Burna talk for hours straight his voice is soothing to me
I’m African American. I agree with Burna message and purpose he’s carrying out. His music was the first music I introduced my babies to. Keep uniting and inspiring our people worldwide. We are better together than we are alone.🖤
i agree but also dont... alot of Africans act that way to Blacks here. Which is fine but then don't dress and use the slang that you think your better than. They act like they are higher class than blacks here but get that reality check when they pulled over in a car by cops. We need to be one and not act like that. One thing i noticed about Africans living in NYC my whole life is they act super nice torward white, latin and asian ppl but act snobby to black ppl. When I was younger i never understood it but as i got older i get it more and more. They see them as higher class i guess from all the history. Us blacks in America view them in a completly different view from all the injustice here to our ppl
@@Tuelz...what you're doing is EXACTLY the problem i.e talk about what the other does to you, but not the other way round. Why, because you feel the African gets none of that? Yes, there are Africans who do what you mentioned, but there are also African Americans who look down on Africans, make fun of their accent, their food, call them names like Babatunde in a derogatory manner etc.... but of course, it is those doing it to you that you will speak of. There are silly people from EVERYWHERE, and here is Burna boy (an African) building a bridge to connect people's similarities, and an American here appreciating it.... but you want to speak about the differences from a victim stand point. It is easier to blame than to take responsibility.
So saying a diaspora doesn’t have a culture but he hasn’t picked up African American history book or watch documentary on African American in his life. Right! You sound like a boot licker smh.
You’re not African American! You’re a Black American! Your skin is black but that don’t make you African! As long as you don’t have an African passport then you ain’t African!
@@Tuelz...you’re confused. The only blacks that I see looking down on are Africans are African Americans. Don’t try it.
This is the best interviewer burna has ever had. See how comfortable he was to answer the questions, he asked relevant questions. Good job.
Exactly, he's very relatable & he does not lack the personality to draw crowds.
Speedy should definitely get a raise cause he is great!!! We need more interviewers like him!!
This has to be the funniest Burna interview ever 🤣🤣🤣
It’s really not that funny. However Burna Boy makes fire music.
@@deeran7 humor is subjective. So it's probably funny to him 🤷🏾♂️
Growing up as a Nigerian kid we all wannabe black Americans 😂🥺🔥❤️😵💯💯💯🙏. The culture was so influential during the era of Hip-hop and RnB . Everyone of us wanna be Tupac 😭🔥🔥
Nah you’re American you’re not Nigerian quit lying 😂😂😂
Guy abeg shut up... Speak for yourself
Define Culture?
@@genenguyhhn google is free. look up what culture means
Are you a fool, you and who wanted to be Tupac? 98% of Africans still don't even know who Tupac is even till now, speak for yourself.
His Laugh is infectious 😂 Love how articulate he is
and straight to the point.
Burna’s interviews are always a breath of fresh air. The man is a LEGEND
Let the haters hate burna. BLACK CANNOT BE CRACKED, UNITED WE STAND✊🏾🤜🏿
TOGETHER WE RISE 🇯🇲 🌍
When I saw the post on Facebook, I had to rush down to CZcams and watch. This interview is one of a kind. Bless Burna.
We dont always get a burner boy interview! Really loved this one, theres no dull moment from the African Gaint!
Burna Boy is a special artist ! He got that it-factor, and he is giving us great music. Afro Fusion is the future. It's can't be stopped as the music he is producing is too good, and I'm a Black American saying this. I think people should step to the side and allow of this guy to fully flourish. He is literally creating a new genre of music right in front of our faces and we can't appreciate it.
Afro beat was inspired by black Americans through jazz
@@tharealisrael1447😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️
@@tharealisrael1447they sound nothing alike, Afro beats sounds African (african instruments ect) while jazz sounds more European if anything(European instruments), I hear & feel nun but African vibes but aye what do I know
What new Genre of Music??? Please go and sir down. Burna boy is good artist however we always get carried away trying to act like this Music is new. It's not Afrobeat is just evolving into a new form of Afrobeat not a NewvGenre.
@@tharealisrael1447 Y'all have to claim everything don't you😭😑
This interview is so unpredictable and relatable. Love it 🖤
I love it, too❤❤❤
I always love Burnas press run whenever he's releasing a album. The best.
Amazing interview! I love his spirit so much
This interviewer is something else. The best I’ve seen ever in a while
I love the interview ❤❤❤❤❤ ….. it’s fun and interesting you should call burna back for more interviews and you’ve definitely gotten a subscriber 😊
Great Interview. Enjoyed it a lot
I love this interview ❤

i so love this interview , and it makes me a even more Damini fan. I love his stage name Burna , but i love finding out about Damini the person as well as the artist. These are the things i look for when i find my music.
I really enjoyed this. Kudos to Speedy.
Bro did his research 🤣🔥🔥
Well fun interview💪🏾🇯🇲💪🏾
Best Burna Boy interview.....you can see his maturity.
Amazing interview Odogwu
Excellent interviewer and interview....... Burna boy was quite cool. This interviewer has done great research on Burna. Broken tooth from a kid, permanently damaged hand, usually fight when he was teenager. Great interview
I really enjoyed this interview!!
This was an amazing interview.
Love the details
Love the homework
Job well done
Love it. This interview was different in a good way. Fantastic host! That “pig farm” analogy was quite interesting and he was spot on when he spoke about how African parents speak in parables and with idiomatic expressions. I really enjoyed this interview.
This was a nice interview to watch. Especially the part at the end where y’all were trying out the different type of Jollof rice’s. I’ve only had Ghanaian🇬🇭 Jollof, & I’m from South Africa 🇿🇦. I’ll do my best to look for a Nigerian🇳🇬 restaurant that sells Jollof rice 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kyalami on main if you're in Johannesburg.
Great interview, it's clear Burna Boy is is a calm, cool mood. Great interviewer also. It's organic and pure. ODUGU's outfit is dapper and nice. God bless you Burna Boy for helping out with your act of tangible kindness you did at Judgement Yard, August town, Kingston Jamaica. Continue to keep well and give us your amazing entertainment. Always beautiful to watch. My favorites: You can bank on it, Ye, Ye, Ye, It's Plenty....I sing everyday, Jerusalema speaks volume to me. We love you from Jamaica, W.I. God's richest blessings to you and the great constellation of Nigerian artistes!
Amazing interview. Speedy is a great conversationalist fr sure and burna boy always looks forward to better questions. Lovely session
i loved this interview
Whether you all like it all not Burna is the greatest artist of our time...Hes been on the grind for long never changing his sound or switching lanes for quick fame so whatever success comes his way he deserves it cos his been real from time and that's why they hate his guts ...Love u Damini ur my biggest inspiration

Burna Boy hates interviews so the fact that he took off his shades and sat up really shows how great of a job Speedy did
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Speedy, thanks for taking us into Burners world.
Great interview. Burna come let me feed you 😭😭
This was great and burns boy is most def gana go down as a goat for sure
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 good jawn
Burna boy is telling the truth its fitting their agenda .They are jealous because you are shining . If you was not doing good nobody would care!
He talks about black unity but of course the cry babies gone act weird
It’s not an agenda thing a lot ppl from Nigeria , Jamaica , Trinidad , etc etc speak really bad towards American and they do this cause they claim Americans don’t know where they come from which is extremely ignorant so there is no agenda
@@joronomo707to many of you do act like you don't know were your from but it's beyond the point. Does it give you clowns the right to lie on the bm's name? I swear black people are their own worst problem. Actually believing a bold face lie and helping to spread it is what's EXTREMELY IGNORANT.
@@joronomo707 Yes there is because he did not say what it is claimed he said. So Black Americans do not speak bad about Africans and Caribbean people. You are a hypocrite and disingenous. The Agenda is very clear. Use your critical thinking skills duh.
@@joronomo707you guys are the ones who feel threatened.. everyone has always embraced black American culture, enjoyed the music, copied the dressing.. you guys are just feeling threatened bcos you can no longer make fun of black Africans and call us bonga bonga and all that trash.. some of us who live abroad know the facts don’t try to spin it around.. you are feeling threatened just admit
I just love this guy the interviewer. This's the kind of interviewer we need in this life well detailed well researched well imformed maker the quest shocked and surprised about his questions. Kudos to the guy mehn amazing stuff right there🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I can't wait for you to bring davido and wizkid on your show. Wizkid that don't like saying much on his interview maybe you can help in that aspect let him be free to say his mind you know what am saying right.........🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@complex

My love for this man🥹❤️❤️❤️

Burna boy is actually chilled.

Burna is an impressive being
