A few days ago, Burna Boy walked out on an American interviewee in the presence of his kinsmen. In a new interview, he has clarified his position and describes the experience as stressful.
Burna Boy is featured in the latest issue of GQ magazine where he spoke, among other things, why interviews make him very uncomfortable.
“It’s not that I hate interviews,” he told his interviewer, Lola Ogunnaike, adding, “It’s just that I find them stressful. I find them more stressful than going on tour.”
He continued, “Because most of the questions you all ask are very direct, simple questions. But then I answer simply, and then you’re waiting for the rest like there’s supposed to be a rest of the answer when there really isn’t.”
The African Giant crooner also said he is not impressed with the charts, with numbers; he is more interested in his fans. “I don’t really have high regard for numbers, because numbers have no feelings, they have no soul, whereas I do,” he explained.
“My ‘numbers’ are the people who have actually felt the feeling that the music is supposed to carry across and in the process received the message,” he added.
