Burna Boy Didn’t Just Wake Up And Sell Out Madison Square Garden, It’s A Process That Took A Long Time — 2Baba

Musical Icon, 2Baba has claimed he remains relevant in the music industry despite the rise of new Afrobeats artists.

He acknowledged the sacrifices he and his peers made to propel Afrobeats to its current global recognition.

He advised young artists to trust the process, build a strong fan base, and not be overly ambitious.

He cited Burna Boy’s journey as an example, highlighting his gradual growth from small venues to selling out iconic venues like Madison Square Garden.

2Baba noted that success requires a long-term process, and he remains committed to creating good music, underscoring his enduring impact on the industry.

“Burna Boy sells out Madison Square Garden and they [other artistes] think they are on the same level. And that’s unrealistic.

“He knows what he passed through before getting to the level he is, and you have to go through that process in full. Burna boy didn’t just wake up and sell out Madison Square Garden, it’s a process that took a long time.

“He started by touring small venues and he built a huge followership from there. And you see the results now. It’s the same process. We are part of the sacrificers; the instrumental process [laughs].

“But that doesn’t take anything away from the fact that I am still very much relevant. I’m still here making good music,” he stated in a recent interview with AFRIMMA.
