Reasons Burna Boy is the first afro beat artiste to sell out SSE Arena

November 5,2019
Share:

The singular reason Burna Boy is the first artist to sell out the SSE Arena is clarity of purpose.

Burna Boy with a plague

Burna Boy receives a portrait for being the first afro beat to sell out SSE Arena.

Speaking with Genevieve magazine, the African Giant said

I’ve had clarity about my purpose for a while, so I’m comfortable with the fact that delay isn’t denial. What is for you will be for you.

Starting off in the music industry with a style which seemed odd and creating his own record label in 2015.

Oluwa Burna has stayed true to his identity and beats. The clarity of his purpose is glaring that he didn’t get distracted or lured to join in the secular music which seemed more popular.

Severally He complained of not getting what he deserved as if seems most awardee snubbed his brand.

Burna reacted to not being nominated  for an award by MTV Africa Award in 2015.

Took to his Twitter handle to say this:

“God bless my fans tho. Yall have always been my real awards. Imma keep doing it for Yall forever. #unstoppable #spaceship

He stayed true to those words and gradually has risen to a great level that awards keep looking for him.

Being clear about what you ought to do and remaining focus no matter the distractions on your path is what we call Clarity of purpose

The beauty about sticking to your purpose is that the rewards are always massive.

2019 is  the best year for his recognition and creativity both nationally and internationally.

one of his songs says, ‘they can’t touch my destiny’, his destiny is like a candle set on a hill which can never be hidden.

Burna Boy has sold out several shows in the past month and there are still more shows coming up.
