Burna Boy’s Name Dropped From List Of Artistes At 2021 Grammy
Fans of the self acclaimed African Giant, Burna Boy are left in shock as the name of Odogwu crooner is removed from the list of artistes to perform at the 2021 Grammy Awards night.
It was earlier announced that Burna Boy will be performing on March 14 along side entertainers like Camilo, Afro Peruvian and Jazz Orchestra among others. However, in the recently released list by the organiser of the artistes performing at the event, the Afro beat singer’s name was omitted.
This latest development triggered fans demand that he should call out the Grammy organisers to claim his rightful spot, while others make a mockery of the singer and his fans as outsiders: The organisers noticed that Burna Boy is a hooligan, they wouldn’t like to be beaten after the event.
