Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning singer from Nigeria, has refuted claims that black Americans lack culture.
Burna Boy said he was misquoted in a recent interview with American media source Complex.
He claimed that his goal is to bring people together and establish bridges.
Burna Boy said, “My mission is to bring us [the world] together. My mission is to build a bridge that can’t be broken, a bridge that should have always been there.
“People that said that [I alluded that Black Americans don’t have culture] have their own agenda.
“Coming back to the point of that I said black people have no culture or whatever. Does that even make sense? If you watched the video of the interview, if you can show me the part where I said black Americans don’t have culture. That is alll I need. If somebody can just show me that part.
“There is nothing I said that Malcolm X didn’t say. But obviously, it’s Burna Boy saying it and he is from Africa and it fits the agenda for your little group or whatever.”
