Burna Boy Once Kicked Omawumi and Waje Out of the Studio, Timaya Reveals
Music star Timaya has opened up about a surprising incident involving Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy, Omawumi, and Waje. According to Timaya, Burna Boy once ordered the two female artists out of a studio after they doubted his ambitious statement about eventually being paid to board a private jet.
Timaya, known for his candid nature, shared the story in a recent interview with Naija FM, Lagos, where he reflected on Burna Boy’s bold personality and fearless attitude. He explained that the incident occurred years ago when Burna Boy was still rising in the music industry. At the time, Nigerian artists hadn’t yet started flying on private jets, which made Burna Boy’s comment seem highly unlikely to Omawumi and Waje.
During their studio session, Burna Boy expressed his belief that one day he would be flown around in private jets, a statement that seemed far-fetched to the two established artists. According to Timaya, the women voiced their doubts, which caused Burna Boy to become enraged. The young artist, known for his confident demeanor, didn’t take kindly to their skepticism.
Timaya revealed that in a fit of frustration, Burna Boy opened the studio door and demanded that Omawumi and Waje leave. His actions shocked those present, as it showed just how determined and unapologetic Burna Boy was about his dreams, even when others doubted him. Timaya admitted that the incident did not surprise him, considering Burna Boy’s fearless personality.
Reflecting on Burna Boy’s rise to fame, Timaya mentioned that nothing the singer does today comes as a shock. He acknowledged Burna Boy’s unwavering belief in his potential and his refusal to let anyone, not even his fellow artists, get in the way of his ambitions. Burna Boy’s now-famed success, including being flown in private jets, is a testament to his earlier bold claims.
The story shared by Timaya highlights Burna Boy’s resilience and determination, traits that have propelled him to international stardom. His journey serves as a reminder that believing in one’s dreams, no matter how big or seemingly impossible, is essential for success.
In the years since the incident, Burna Boy has gone on to achieve tremendous success, solidifying his place as one of Africa’s most influential artists. His willingness to challenge expectations and his unapologetic attitude have become defining characteristics of his career, making him a force to be reckoned with in the global music scene.
