Burna Boy Shuns Social Media Giveaways, Chooses Real-World Impact Over Online Clout
Grammy Award-winning artist Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, has recently made headlines with his candid take on social media giveaways. During an intimate Instagram live session, the celebrated musician shared his perspective on the trend of online giveaways, labeling it as mere clout chasing.
Burna Boy’s remarks came as he discussed his imminent return to Nigeria from Paris, where he was accompanied by his family and crew aboard his private jet. The singer’s stance starkly contrasts with that of his industry peers, such as Davido and Don Jazzy, who are known for their frequent online giveaways.
The “African Giant” articulated his belief that true generosity should reach those who are most in need, many of whom are not active on social media platforms like Instagram. “I don’t like all these Instagram giveaways,” Burna Boy stated, emphasizing his commitment to making a difference in the lives of those who truly need assistance, away from the digital spotlight.
His words resonate with a growing sentiment that philanthropy should extend beyond the virtual realm, touching the lives of individuals in tangible ways. As the debate on the efficacy and sincerity of online giveaways continues, Burna Boy’s approach serves as a reminder of the power of direct action in addressing real-world needs.
