Burna Boy Reveals Reason for Boycotting Podcast Interviews

Burna

Popular Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, has recently stirred conversations online after revealing why he won’t participate in podcast interviews. According to the Grammy-winning artist, the decision stems from his belief that many podcast hosts lack professionalism.

Taking to his Instastory, Burna Boy explained that as a professional in his field, he prefers to engage only with individuals who exhibit the same level of expertise in their own professions. He wrote:

I no dey for all those podcast/ring light level abeg. I be professional for my profession, na only professional for him own profession dey qualified to interview ODG.

This statement reflects Burna Boy’s stance on the growing podcast culture, where hosts often operate without formal training or journalistic backgrounds. The singer’s comment has sparked mixed reactions, with some fans supporting his perspective and others criticizing his dismissal of podcasts as a valid medium of communication.

Despite his aversion to interviews in general, Burna Boy expressed an interest in sitting down with seasoned media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu. Known for his articulate and insightful interviewing style, Ebuka has earned a reputation as one of Nigeria’s most respected media figures. Burna Boy revealed his willingness to participate in an interview with Ebuka to address recent developments in his life and career. He wrote:

Ebuka still dey do all those interview? I no like interview at all but I go like run 1.”

This openness to an interview with Ebuka highlights Burna Boy’s respect for professionalism and his desire for meaningful, in-depth conversations. While he remains adamant about avoiding podcasts, his willingness to collaborate with a reputable interviewer like Ebuka demonstrates his selective approach to media engagements.

Burna Boy’s revelation has reignited discussions about the evolving media landscape and the importance of professionalism in journalism and content creation. Whether this leads to a highly-anticipated interview with Ebuka or prompts podcasters to up their game, one thing is certain: Burna Boy’s words have set the internet abuzz once again.
