NIGERIAN MAN TO BURNA BOY: IGNORE AKPI
Onwuka Chimezie
Burna Boy is going on a needless voyage with Speed Darlington. Whoever is advising Burna at this moment doesn’t understand the rudiments of brand marketing.
I’ve come to understand in life that some people are like a fishbone tightly wedged in the throat. You can’t swallow them, and you can’t also find it easy to spit them out. The best you can do for yourself is to damn them completely. And Speed Darlington seems to be in this category.

Literally speaking, Speed Darlington did what musicians do. When artistes want to make musics, they look around and create controversies with bigger artistes to market their crafts.
You don’t go about arresting your fellow artistes because they dissed you. You respond to them through musics, and the fun of such responses keeps you on the radar of relevance.
Phyno did it when Hushpuppy called him a cheap guy who rocks fake wears. He responded Hushpuppy by jumping on Timaya’s “TELLI PERSON” where he dissed Hushpuppy and called him a baller with no known job.
In fact, Shatta Wale’s hit track – ON GOD, was inspired by the feud between him and Burna Boy. Burna Boy called him a puppy rapîst, in response, Shatta Wale dropped the all time best selling single – ON GOD, which blew his career up.
Burna Boy should come off that route he’s going and hit the studio if what Akpi said got him provoked. This is Aftrobeat territory, not hip-hop territory where artistes reply their fellow artistes with guns and bullets.
