Burna Boy has made a big blunder in his acceptance speech. You will recall that Nigerian singer Burna Boy became the first African to win BET two ✌️ times in a row by winning The Best International Act.
The Odogwu singer defeated Innoss’B (DRC), Sho Madjozi (South Africa), Dave (UK), Stormzy (UK), Ninho (France), and S.Pri Noir (France) to scoop the gong at the first-ever virtual BET Awards which held on Sunday night.
Giving his acceptance speech virtually due to coronavirus pandemic he said:
" I'll like to use this opportunity to say that sometime around 1835, there was a mission to turn Africa into a dominated nation."
"Now is the time to overturn that and go back to the royalty that we were, because, in order for black lives to matter, Africa must matter"
Firstly, he said there was a mission to turn Africa into a dominated nation."
Africa as a whole is not a nation rather its a continent.
Secondly, he was referring to Berlin Conference of 1884 and 1885 when Africa was divided to allow European powers to colonize the continent.
Unfortunately, the Odogwu crooner didn't get the date correctly. Instead 1884 and 1885 he said 1835.
