By Gbolahan Adeyemi


Many of us do not know him as Damini Ogulu, but when the name Burna boy is mentioned, it rings a bell.

It would be recalled that Burna Boy was not happy that he did not get any nominations for the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMAs) last year and took to his twitter to express himself.

He had reached out to his fans and calling them his real awards instead!
