Burna Boy Floors Davido, Wizkid At Sound City Awards

Amidst controversy, Afro fusion star, Damini- Ogulu, also known as Burna Boy has started 2019 on a very high note, carting home four awards at the Sound City awards which held last Saturday at the Eko Convention Centre of Eko Hotels, Victoria Island Lagos.
He won in the categories of listeners choice, best male, song of the year and in the much coveted African Artiste of the year category, beating Davido and Wizkid who only got one award each.
Though he wa not present to receive the awards at the event, he however took to instagram to celebrate and thank his fans.
“4 awards; humbled and honoured, thank you for the constant support all my fans for always having my back. Many more in 2019, it’s been a hell of ride”, he wrote.
Arguably one of the hottest African artistes of 2018, however, last week, Burna Boy was in the centre of the storm when he was largely criticised for calling out organisers of the Coachella festival, saying his name was written in tiny fonts.
He and Mr Eazi were two Nigerians that were listed in the California music festival which has Ariana Grande headlining.
While some people thought Burna Boy was proud as he referred to himself as an ‘African Giant’ and should not have complained about the tiny fonts used to write his name. Others praised his move for standing up on behalf of other African artistes against percieved maltrestment from westerners.
