Nigerian music star Burna Boy has stirred controversy after declaring that his fighting spirit died during the 2020 #EndSARS protests. Amidst the ongoing #EndBadGovernment protests, the singer took to social media to explain his absence from the movement, asserting that his name should not be mentioned.

The singer’s statement, which referenced past criticisms from protesters, ignited a firestorm of reactions online. Many fans expressed disappointment, accusing him of abandoning the cause he once championed. Others questioned his claim to the title “African Giant” in light of his stance.

Burna Boy defended himself against the backlash, engaging in a back-and-forth with critics on the platform. However, his responses did little to quell the growing discontent among his followers.

As the debate rages on, the singer’s decision to distance himself from the current protests has undoubtedly impacted his public image and raised questions about his commitment to social activism.
