During an Instagram live session with his fans and followers, Grammy Award winner, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu professionally known as Burna Boy discloses why he doesn’t do giveaways online. Burna Boy said that he sees engaging in giveaways online as clout chasing.
Unlike his colleagues, Davido, Don Jazzy who always engage in doing giveaways online, Burna Boy expressed his opposition to such practices, he made this assertion while flying back to Nigeria from Paris in his private jet accompanied by his family and crew members.
Burna Boy said people who deserve giveaways are not online, they don’t even know what is called Instagram stressing that they are not online, probably because of the logic that for those online to be able to have access to the internet, they are likely well to do already and do not need the kind of help he is looking to offer.
Burna said: “I don’t like all these Instagram giveaways, I do giveaway to places that really matters, to people that really need it and most of them aren’t on the internet.”
This has led to a lot of Netizens reactions, divided amongst those who subscribe to this and support the assertion and some against who claims being on the internet is not and should not be the yardstick to determine whether or not someone is in need of help, more so given the economic realities of the country that’s biting hard on people’s finances.
