Reggae and dancehall artiste, Chinagorom Onuoha, popularly known as African China, has showered praise on Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, Burna Boy, likening him to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. African China made the bold comparison in a video uploaded on his Facebook page, hailing Burna Boy as a “legend” and the “African giant”.
The renowned musician praised Burna Boy’s recent performance at the London Stadium, which he described as a historic feat. Burna Boy made history on June 29, 2024, by selling out the 80,000-capacity London Stadium in one of the stops for his record-breaking ‘I Told Them’ tour. This achievement marks a milestone for the Grammy-winning artiste, who has become the first African artiste to solo-headline a UK stadium twice.
African China’s video showed him expressing his admiration for Burna Boy’s talent and impact on the music industry. He repeatedly referred to Burna Boy as “our Michael Jackson”, emphasizing his immense respect for the artiste’s skills and influence.
“Burna Boy, you are really a legend. You are the African giant… you are good,” African China said in the video. “You are our (African) Michael Jackson, you did not only bring Grammy home but you took our music there. Thanks for making us proud.”
The high praise from African China is a testament to Burna Boy’s growing global recognition and influence in the music world. The “African Giant” has been making waves with his unique sound and energetic performances, solidifying his position as one of Africa’s leading music exports.
