Award-winning Nigerian Afro-fusion singer and songwriter, Burna Boy has joined the list of popular Nigerian celebrities to speak against the attacks on Nigerians and other Africans in South Africa.

Ok. I have been away from social media personally until today. Ordinarily at a time like this, I should come here and say something to try and calm the situation because my Dream has always been to Unite AFRICA and make us realise that Together we will Literally rule the world…

Burna Boy also stated that the attacks go against everything he stands for while appealing to Nigerians in South Africa to continue to protect themselves without causing chaos.

This goes against everything I stand 4, but at what point do we take action? I understand that years of Oppression has confused South Africans to the point where they see the pple who came to their defence during their Oppression as their Enemies and then worship their oppressors
