This sentiment suggests that he perceives Burna Boy’s efforts as a sign of his growing influence within the music industry.
Speed Darlington did not shy away from making bold comparisons between himself and Burna Boy. “I consider myself more successful than Burna Boy,” he stated, highlighting his belief in his own organic success.
