keep diddy away from afrobeats, why burna got a song with chris martin ??
It makes no sense. It’s so random but he explained it
“ There was only one man Burna ever considered to sing the hook for ‘Monsters You Made’: Coldplay’s Chris Martin. “I had the two verses and an empty space for the hook, but in my mind I was like: ‘Bro, if I don’t get Coldplay on this one then I’m just gonna release it with no hook’,” he remembers with a laugh.
When I ask why it had to be Martin, Burna mulls over his answer: “I don’t know the English words to put this in, or the politically correct words to use for this, but he’s one of the only people that could bring that balance and still relate.” Is it, I suggest, something to do with contrasting the verses’ stinging critique of white Western imperialism with a hook sung by one of the biggest stars in mainstream white Western pop? “That’s the balance,” he agrees. “He’s the only one that could have pulled that off.”
I feel like the question is why did Coldplay say yes to this. It doesn’t fit their brand at all
The man just can’t miss!
Bebo slaps
f*** with it, need to finish through completely but so far this is the best thing that dropped tonight
This is lowkey a drop from African Giant
He was making this before African Giant, feel like this album was one he really wanted to put out personally. We should see a return to the classic burna style for the next project

Don’t get me wrong I still like the album. Time Flies and Bank on It are some of burna’s best songs recently
I just expected something different when it was announced. This project reminds me of his other album Redemption, which is a return to form I guess.
But i think this will grow on me for sure. I just need to give it time
