Nigerian singer-songwriter Damini Ogulu alias Burna Boy yesterday expressed his feelings about the Xenophobic attacks targeting Nigerian in South Africa.
The Bet Award 2019 and MTV African music award winner was clearly angry at the mistreatment of fellow Africans in the South African nation particularly in Johannesburg.
Such violence breaks out sporadically in South Africa, where many nationals blame immigrants for high unemployment, particularly in manual labour.
In a series of tweets, Burna Boy left no feeling unsaid; he was no-holds-barred prompting his management team to take his phone away
Here are some of the tweets that we sampled:-
Ok. I have been away from social media personally until today. Ordinarily at a time like this, I should come here and say something to try and calm the situation because my Dream has always been to Unite AFRICA and make us realise that Together we will Literally rule the world…
But Today After watching the Killing of my people in South Africa the same way we have all watched it happen a few times in the past. FUCK ALL THAT! I personally have had my own xenophobic experiences at the hands of South Africans and because of that…..
I have not set foot in SA since 2017. And I will NOT EVER go to South Africa again for any reason until the SOUTH AFRICAN government wakes the fuck up and really performs A miracle because I don’t know how they can even possibly fix this.

This goes against everything I stand 4, but at what point do we take action? I understand that years of Oppression has confused South Africans to the point where they see the people who came to their defence during their Oppression as their Enemies and then worship their oppressors
Management intervened
And to my Brothers and sisters I am not encouraging any Violence or anything but please PLEASE Protect and Defend yourselves at all times, it may not seem like it but there’s always a way. Management will now take back control of Burna Boy’s Social media. God bless AFRICA
