I was dealing with a personal family issue – Burna Boy speaks

Nigerians took to Twitter last week to blast the singer for being ”silent” on the protest.

In a series of tweets posted this evening, the singer said he was dealing with a personal family problem when the protests began. According to him, his mum had surgery last week and he had to focus his attention on her health.
