Nigerian musician Burna Boy has subtly responded to comments made by fellow artist Davido, who referred to Burna Boy and others as “new cats” in the music industry while highlighting a hierarchy.
Davido had claimed that he and Wizkid paved the way for artists like Rema, Fireboy, and Burna Boy, which sparked some disagreement among music enthusiasts who felt Burna Boy shouldn’t be categorized as a “new cat.”
In a recent interview, Burna Boy addressed the comments in a measured manner, stating that he doesn’t view being referred to as a “new cat” negatively. Instead, he sees it as a term that keeps him youthful and allows him to explore various musical opportunities.
Burna Boy expressed gratitude for having the chance to delve into different genres of music, as it enables him to be experimental and stretch his artistic capabilities.
According to him, music transcends mere genres, and he feels blessed to embrace its vast possibilities.
