Burna Boy on Blackness:
“If we all found our way back home and like, we are all doing all these that we’re doing here back home, who would be the leader of the world? You cannot be strong anywhere if your roots are not strong. We need to make our roots are strong enough before we can demand. All these marching s**t and all that… are not priority.
“If Africa was looked at the way it should be looked at, then you would have no problems over here, you would have no problems in the UK or wherever there is Africans because we are only as strong as our roots are. For me, I feel this is the time to come home.”
