When called out by an X user for his indifference, the ‘20 10 20’ crooner responded with strong language, revealing that his zeal for activism died on October 20, 2020, during the ENDSARS violence at Lekki Tollgate.

Burna Boy also relinquished his “African Giant” title to fellow musician Falz, citing his loss of passion in advocating for social justice.

The tweets were met with mixed reactions. Some netizens rained insults on the singer and others supporting him.
