Patrick Doyle Criticizes Burnaboy, Claims He Is Unworthy Of The Title “Great.”

Veteran Nollywood actor Patrick Doyle has criticized Grammy-winning musician Damini Ogulu, better known by his stage name Burnaboy, claiming that the musician does not merit all the praise that he receives.

In a post on social media, Doyle said that Burnaboy was not to be credited for recent successes in Nigerian music, adding that the “last last” crooner had accomplished “nothing” that would qualify as outstanding.

He stated, “The credit for the accomplishments that seem to be inflating up the likes of Burna Boy has to be appropriately assigned to the greats who cleared the difficult paths that have made it possible for his likes to stroll through practically easy.

“Burna Boy has not by himself done anything that can be remotely described as great. He and his peers are recipients of the labours of heroes past. They need to be humble and respectful of their diligent and truly pioneering predecessors.

“Great artistes like SunnyAde, Fela Anikulapo, Majek Fashek , I, k. Dairo and a galaxy of others who paved the way from the 60s, to the 2000s. Greatness and great feats don’t exist in a vacuum.

“Let us not contribute to the creation of an arrogant and obnoxious monster.” Patrick Doyle noted.
Burnaboy in a recent interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in New York, claimed that most Nigerian songs lack ‘substance.’
His words, “90 percent of them (Nigerian musicians) have no real life experiences which is why most of Nigerian music or African music or Afrobeats as people call it, is mostly about nothing, literally nothing.

“There is no substance to it — like, nobody is talking about anything in it. it is just a great time. It’s an amazing time. But at the end of the day, life is not an amazing time. No matter how nice of a time you are having now or you had at some point or you plan to have, you are still going to face life.”
