VIDEO: “Show Me The Part Where I Said It” Burna Boy Responds To The ‘Black Americans Have No Culture’ Allegations

[articletop]

In a somewhat elusive clip, an interviewer posed a particular question to Burna Boy, a query that would unexpectedly become a crucial factor in some individuals’ perception of the artist. The clip, which isn’t readily accessible, holds a certain significance for those curious about Burna Boy’s stance.

As depicted above, the pivotal question that Burna Boy was asked revolved around the significance of the (black) diaspora returning to their ancestral homelands. However, true to his penchant for stirring up controversy, Burna Boy responded candidly. It’s essential to note that he offered his insights with the best of intentions, portraying Africa as a welcoming haven for African Americans.

In his response, Burna Boy delved into an explanation concerning how the Chinese and Italians have managed to cultivate more harmonious and respected relations with the American government due to their strong connections with their respective home countries. In contrast, he highlighted the relative lack of such connections for African Americans.

This discourse subsequently unraveled into a series of additional questions, eventually giving rise to a rumor that Burna Boy had asserted “Black Americans have no culture.”

This claim has since become a focal point of controversy whenever Burna Boy is discussed, especially given that his three most recent hits have incorporated elements of African American culture. One music piece even depicts the artist donning quintessential Hip Hop attire. Many now question: “If Burna Boy purportedly disputes their cultural identity, why does he emulate their culture?”

This topic emerged during Burna Boy’s appearance on the ‘360 With Speedy’ show on Complex TV, hosted by Speedy. The show, renowned for its extensive conversations, offers insights into the untold stories of cherished musicians, actors, and celebrities, exploring the secrets to their success in a rapidly evolving industry.

During this episode, Burna Boy refuted the claims that he had ever stated ‘Black Americans have no culture.’ He underscored his commitment to fostering a connection between Africans and the diaspora, reinforcing his determination to bridge the gap between these two integral parts of the global African community.
