Busta Rhymes Speaks Highly Of Burna Boy

The legendary American rapper, Busta Rhymes, recently shared his excitement about collaborating with the Grammy-winning Nigerian artist, Burna Boy

Burna Boy is featured in the track 'Roboshotta,' part of Busta Rhymes's latest album, 'Blockbusta.'

During an interview with BBC Radio Capital Xtra, the hip-hop icon described working with Burna Boy as one of the most incredible experiences of his life. He praised Burna Boy's speed, efficiency, and clarity, noting that the Nigerian artist doesn't waste time when he knows what he wants to do and is exceptionally skilled.

Busta Rhymes explained that the collaboration with Burna Boy came about after he played around five songs for the Nigerian singer. Burna Boy chose to contribute to the track 'Roboshotta,' which was produced by the American legend Pharrell Williams.

In a separate development, Rema, a rising star in the music scene, expressed admiration for his senior colleague, Burna Boy, just before his own sold-out concert at the O2 Arena. Rema recalled a pivotal moment in his career when Burna Boy had invited him to perform on stage during Burna Boy's O2 Arena concert two years prior.

On November 14, 2023, just moments before headlining his own show at the prestigious venue, Rema took to Twitter to express deep gratitude to the self-proclaimed African Giant. He credited Burna Boy as a significant source of inspiration in his musical journey.
