Ruger, a Nigerian singer, has acknowledged Burna Boy for revolutionizing Afrobeats performances by incorporating live bands. He noted that prior to Burna Boy’s innovation, most Afrobeats artists relied solely on DJ sets during their shows.
Describing Burna Boy’s impact, Ruger emphasized how he elevated the live performance experience in the industry. In a recent conversation with Billboard, alongside BNXN, Ruger expressed, “Before Burna Boy initiated this live band concept, many Afrobeats artists simply took the stage with their DJs and carried on. Burna Boy has truly made live performances captivating.”
Asserting the significance of Burna Boy’s contributions, Ruger emphasized the knowledge among Nigerian youth about the artist’s groundbreaking influence. He stated defiantly, “I’m unconcerned about whether Burna Boy receives the recognition he deserves. However, we, the rising stars from Nigeria, recognize and appreciate his transformative impact.”
