"I Get Everything Pass All of Them" – Burna Boy Sparks Buzz with Bold Boast

Nigerian Grammy-winning superstar, Damini Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, has once again shaken the entertainment world with a fiery declaration that’s got fans talking and critics analyzing. In what many see as yet another confident — if not controversial — moment from the “African Giant,” Burna Boy took to his platform to boldly declare, “I get everything pass all of them,” a statement that has sent ripples through the Nigerian and global music scene.

This unapologetic statement, which appears to be a direct or indirect shade at fellow artists in the industry, aligns perfectly with Burna Boy’s signature persona — brash, proud, and relentlessly self-assured. From dominating international charts to gracing the most prestigious stages worldwide, Burna Boy has cultivated an image of dominance, and this latest statement seems to be his way of stamping his authority once again in the ever-competitive music industry.

Social media erupted within minutes of the post. Screenshots circulated, hashtags trended, and fans from all corners of the globe jumped into the virtual coliseum to either cheer their champion or question the source of such a claim. On X (formerly Twitter), fans debated fiercely — was Burna Boy referring to material wealth? Global fame? Talent? Influence? Or was it just another flex from the self-proclaimed "Odogwu"?

Some fans praised the artist, calling his confidence inspiring and well-earned. “Let’s be honest, Burna Boy has backed his words with results,” wrote one X user. “From Coachella to Grammys to Madison Square Garden, he’s been breaking barriers left, right, and center.” Another added, “He’s not lying though. He really does get everything pass all of them.”

However, not everyone was impressed. Critics quickly fired back, labeling the statement as arrogant and unnecessary. “Confidence is good, but pride goeth before a fall,” one post read. Others questioned whether Burna Boy was fueling unnecessary beef in an industry already ripe with ego-driven rivalries. Many pointed fingers at the usual suspects: Davido and Wizkid — two of the biggest names in the Nigerian music scene and long-standing industry counterparts to Burna Boy.

While Burna Boy didn’t mention any names directly, the timing of his comment has raised eyebrows. Just days earlier, Davido shared a photo of his new Lamborghini Revuelto and celebrated a major streaming milestone. Not long before that, Wizkid teased fans with snippets of an upcoming project, hinting at a return to form. Could Burna Boy’s statement be a not-so-subtle response to these victories? Was it a bid to remind fans and rivals alike that he remains king of the hill?

As the conversation deepens, many are pointing to Burna Boy’s meteoric rise and consistent achievements as a justification for his statement. In 2020, he became the first Nigerian to be nominated for back-to-back Grammys, and in 2021, he clinched the golden gramophone for Twice As Tall, making history as the first solo Nigerian artist to win in a global category. Since then, he’s headlined shows in sold-out stadiums across Europe, the United States, and Africa. His discography spans chart-topping albums, hit singles, and anthems that have crossed borders and cultures.

But beyond music, Burna Boy has also expanded into the world of fashion, global brand endorsements, and cultural ambassadorship. From working with Diddy to being featured on global playlists and sharing the stage with international icons, the Port Harcourt-born superstar has undoubtedly earned his place among the world’s elite performers. His recent performance at the 2024 UEFA Champions League Final and his presence at the Met Gala only further underscore his global reach.

Yet, with great influence often comes greater scrutiny. Burna Boy has had his fair share of controversies — from social media spats to criticisms over comments on Nigerian politics and culture. His fiery nature has made him both a media darling and a magnet for backlash. This latest proclamation adds to a long list of quotable moments, and whether it was a calculated move or a spontaneous outburst, one thing is certain: it has reignited the never-ending debate about who truly wears the crown in Nigerian music.

Industry insiders are also weighing in. Some argue that Burna Boy’s comment reflects a deep-seated frustration with constant comparisons to his peers. “It’s like no matter how far he goes, people still try to pit him against others,” said one anonymous source close to the artist. “Sometimes, the only way to shut the noise is to remind everyone who you are.”

Others believe it’s all part of the showbiz game. “This is entertainment. If people aren’t talking about you, you’re not doing it right. Burna Boy knows exactly what he’s doing,” said a popular entertainment blogger. “He knows this will stir the pot and keep him trending.”

Meanwhile, fans continue to refresh his social media, waiting to see if he’ll clarify, walk it back, or double down on his claim. Some even speculate that this could be a prelude to a new song, album, or project — a strategic move to build hype and anticipation. Burna Boy has been known to tease fans with cryptic messages, only to follow them up with massive releases that dominate the charts and conversation.

Whether you love him or loathe him, there’s no denying that Burna Boy is a force to be reckoned with. His voice is loud, his presence undeniable, and his influence far-reaching. His latest boast, “I get everything pass all of them,” may be debatable to some, but in the world of confidence, performance, and results, he has certainly earned the right to make bold claims.

In an industry where success is often defined not just by talent but by visibility, dominance, and the ability to stay relevant, Burna Boy seems to understand the game better than most. And as long as fans keep dancing, streaming, and talking — whether in admiration or controversy — Burna Boy’s reign as one of the biggest African stars of the century remains unshaken.
