Ex Big Brother Africa housemate Uti Nwanchuwku has blasted Nigerians for being angry at Burna Boy over his recent twitter rants.
Burna had angered the nation when he’d claimed that not a single person paved the way for him on his journey as a musician.
He had claimed he was the best ever to do it and that no one else came close, causing Nigerians to lash out at him online.

Uti has however come to his rescue, claiming that Burna boy is responsible for the respect Nigerians enjoy and that there’s nothing wrong with being confident.
He tweeted:
We should actually thank @burnaboy for putting RESPECT on our name internationally!! Especially at times like these where we have very little to brag about as a country! Entertainment has been our saving grace in recent times! PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME!! HE FREAKING EARNED IT!
Why do we have a problem with peeps blowing their own trumpet?? Why do we call it pride?? If u are used to putting yourself down and not speaking as things are/should be, then stay down!! But DO NOT FOR ANY REASON FORCE ANYONE TO THINK AND ACT AS SMALL AS YOU! Respect @burnaboy !
