In a series of tweets, African giant, Burna Boy has reacted to the recent xenophobic attacks on foreigners in South Africa.
In the first tweet, Burna Boy mentioned how the attacks ended his absence on social media. He said “Ok. I have been away from social media personally until today. Ordinarily at a time like this, I should come here and say something to try and calm the situation because my Dream has always been to Unite AFRICA and make us realise that Together we will Literally rule the world…”
Burna Boy, who could not hide his displeasure to the killings of Nigerians in South Africa, stressed ” But Today After watching the Killing of my people in South Africa the same way we have all watched it happen a few times in the past. Bleep ALL THAT! I personally have had my own xenophobic experiences at the hands of South Africans and because of that…..”
To further show his displeasure, BurnaBoy who said he has not been to South Africa since 2017 promised to never set foot in South Africa again until the South African government acts.
In his words; ” I have not set foot in SA since 2017. And I will NOT EVER go to South Africa again for any reason until the SOUTH AFRICAN government wakes the Bleep up and really performs A miracle because I don’t know how they can even possibly fix this.”
He went on to say ” This goes against everything I stand 4, but at what point do we take action? I understand that years of Oppression has confused South Africans to the point where they see the pple who came to their defence during their Oppression as their Enemies and then worship their oppressors. ”
