I Don't Get Awards Because Of Politics In The Industry - Burna Boy

Burna boy in an interview with Fader magazine opens up why he does not consider himself a part of the Nigerian music industry

According to him, there is too much politics in play as only people organisers like are given award.

Hear him:

It’s political, man. To be honest, I don’t really feel like I’m part of the industry. Check out awards, I don’t get awards because the powers that be don’t really like me. I’m not like everyone else; I won’t do what everyone else does. They don’t like it. Everything is really political, too much politics in the industry and I’m not a very good politician

So I don’t really involve myself in all that. I just drop the hit song and my fan base keeps increasing. “If I was a part of the industry then I wouldn’t have shit today. Think about it. It would just be one of the songs you hear in the club and then that’s it. “But right now, you see, I don’t have the most Twitter followers or the most instagram numbers or whatever, but the things that I do the people  with one million followers  can’t do it.”
