Burna Boy is not pleased with the way his name
was listed on Coachella’s line-up of 2019
performers.
Earlier today, December 3, 2019, Pulse reported
that Nigerian superstars Burna Boy and Mr Eazi
have been announced alongside headliners like
Childish Gambino and Ariana Grande as artists
that will be taking to the Coachella stage later in
the year.
In a twist, the singer who enjoyed a stellar 2018
has now stated his unhappiness at how his name
was listed on the bill.
Taking to his Insta Story shortly after the full line
up was unveiled, Burna Boy stated, ”I really
appreciate you. But I don’t appreciate the way
my name is written so small in your bill. I am
an AFRICAN GIANT and will not be reduced to
whatever that tiny writing means. Fix things quick
please.”
The Coachella festival which turns 20 this year,
is one of the biggest and most famous annual
music events in the world, providing a platform
for top and established artists, as well as
emerging artists to showcase their art to a
global audience.
It is, however, important to note that the way the
line-up was announced has been the traditional
way by which Coachella unfolds its list of
performing acts with the headliner’s showcased
in large letters while its long line-up of
supporting performers is in lesser characters.
Coachella is yet to respond to Burna Boy’s
statement and it will interesting to see if the
singer, for this reason, will miss the opportunity
to perform on this stage like King Sunny Ade
and Wizkid who were listed in 2017 and 2018
consecutively but were unable to attend.
