The fact people would even be mad he sampled his favorite artist shows their complete incompetence. If you knew how frequently artists sample musicians from previous generations you would shut up instantly. This is a COMMON practice. It's more so paying homage as opposed to stealing. People don't get sense so I am not even mad
Dude this cat not samplin..bull shit..he literally stole all my f his songs…you sample maybe one or two…this cat stole all of his records…that’s sad…Come on now this ain’t right…
BURNA BOY OWES FELA FAMILY TRUST A LOT FOR HIS RISE IN HIS MUSICAL CAREER. ITS NOT ENOUGH FOR HIM TO ACKNOWLEDGE FELA AS HIS IDOL…HE NEEDS TO FUCK OUT SOME DONATIONS TOWARD ABAMI EDA'S MUSEUM AT IKEJA. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT , BURNA BOY IS A TALENTED ACCOMPLISHED MUSICIAN. EVEN FELA'S KIDS NEVER HAD IT IN THEM TO SAMPLE THEIR DAD'S MUSIC THE WAY BURNA DOES IT…….HERE …BURNA IS SMART….AND HE IS LAUGHING ALL THE TO HIS BANK. WELDONE BURNA BOY…..DONT FORGET…. PLEASE ANY QUIDS FOR FELA'S SHRINE ?????

My question, would he be as big if he never sampled Fela?
