In a candid live session with fans, internationally acclaimed Nigerian artist and Grammy laureate, Damini Ogulu, known by his stage name Burna Boy, shared his unique approach to philanthropy. Contrary to the prevalent trend of online giveaways, Burna Boy elucidates his commitment to making a tangible impact on those who are most in need—many of whom are beyond the reach of social media.
“Contrary to the digital trend of giveaways, I focus my efforts on the underprivileged who are often disconnected from the world of social media. It’s about making a difference where it truly counts,” expressed Burna Boy, emphasizing his dedication to direct aid over digital gestures.
In Burna Boy’s words:
“Me I no dey follow una do Instagram giveaway o, I do giveaway to places that it really matters, to people that really need it and most of them are not on the in-ternet, some of them no even know wetin be Insta-gram.”
This stance not only highlights Burna Boy’s philanthropic priorities but also sheds light on the broader issue of digital accessibility and the importance of reaching out to marginalized communities in meaningful ways.
