He noted that Burna Boy’s tribute shines a brilliant light on the cultural heritage of Fuji, bridging generations and genres on the global stage.
The Fuji maestro further expressed eagerness to attend one of Burna Boy’s upcoming concerts, while hailing him as a true Afropop titan.
He wrote, “Burna Boy’s heartfelt tribute, naming me as his GOAT singer on a global stage, is a monumental moment that celebrates the soul of Fuji music and its timeless influence.
“This honour not only uplifts my journey but also shines a brilliant light on our rich cultural heritage, bridging generations and genres worldwide.
“I am profoundly grateful for this acknowledgment from the African Giant himself, of whom I am also a great fan. Together, we are redefining African music legacy and inspiring the world with authentic, vibrant sounds.”
Osupa concluded by thanking Burna Boy and all music lovers embracing Fuji, while wishing the superstar more success.
