Afro-fusion star, Damini Ogulu aka Burna Boy pulled stunning performance on global comedy show ‘The Daily Show’.
‘The Daily Show’ is an American late-night talk show that
piques on satire and self-deprecatory humour to discuss socially and
culturally relevant stories.
The show is currently hosted by South African comedian, Trevor Noah and has won 24 Primetime Emmy Awards.
Burna Boy, on Tuesday night, appeared alongside Mark Sanford, a former US representative and former Governor of South Carolina.
News Agency of Nigeria reports that the ‘African Giant’ performed hit tracks ‘Ye’ and ‘Anybody’, eliciting loud cheers from the audience.
He was dressed in a multicoloured striped outfit, a pair of glasses
and a neck full of diamonds while rocking his signature braids.
In an interview with Noah, Burna Boy explained the reasons for his outburst over the Coachella poster in January.
The incident, which birthed the ‘African Giant’ moniker, saw Burna
Boy accuse Coachella of disrespecting him by writing his name in small
fonts.
Explaining the situation to Noah, he said, “I am looking for my name
and I can’t find my name. I am like – am I really performing?
“They had to circle it for me. That’s never happened to me before. I am used to being the African giant.
“I didn’t like it and I expressed myself. Not just for that but so,
everyone that comes after me won’t have to go through that,” he said.
Trevor Noah noted that people might not understand Burna Boy’s huge
influence as an artist in Nigeria and in Africa, the continent with one
of the world’s largest population.
NAN reports that in July, Burna Boy released an album titled ‘African Giant’, referencing the Coachella incidence. It was premiered on Jimmy Kimmel’s show.
