Nigerian singer Yinka Lawanson, popularly known as Lamb, has revealed that Grammy-winning musician Burna Boy once cried after Port Harcourt singer Duncan Mighty rejected his request for a musical collaboration.
Lamb made the revelation during an episode of the Afropolitan podcast, where he discussed Burna Boy’s early struggles and determination to succeed in the music industry.
He said Burna Boy should grant more podcast interviews to discuss his personal beliefs, challenges and journey to success rather than focus on his fame and luxury lifestyle.
According to Lamb, Burna Boy faced rejection before becoming an internationally recognised musician.
He recalled a story circulating on social media about the singer crying after Duncan Mighty turned down his request for a feature.
Lamb said Burna Boy reportedly promised that he would eventually become successful enough to request the same collaboration again.
He added that Burna Boy’s determination and belief in himself helped him overcome early setbacks and establish his position in the music industry.
Lamb said podcast interviews could give audiences a deeper understanding of the experiences and mindset behind Burna Boy’s success.
However, he did not provide further details about when the alleged rejection happened.
