“I miss my old self” – Singer Burna Boy says

Burna Boy, the Afrobeats sensation, has written a thoughtful message on his X handle, expressing a strong yearning for his old self.

The “Last Last” singer acknowledged that he misses who he once was while acknowledging the considerable personal progress he has undergone over time.

Burna Boy admitted that his old self would probably struggle to understand the person he has become, describing the new version as “soft” due to his reduced rage and increased emotional intelligence.

On his X handle, Burna Boy wrote: “The new me misses the old me. The old me can’t even understand the new me and thinks the new me is soft for not being so angry all the time”.

Meanwhile, Burna Boy, the Nigerian music sensation, stirred uproar on social media by commenting on the Miss South Africa 2024 competition.

Burna Boy expressed dissatisfaction and criticised the contest after Mia le Roux, a lady of European ethnicity, was crowned the new Miss South Africa.

Burna Boy’s remarks come after the pageant had already been plagued by controversy over previous finalist Chidimma Adetshina, who was forced to resign owing to citizenship issues.

Many social media users, notably Burna Boy, believed that the pageant squandered an opportunity to highlight African beauty and culture.

Burna Boy’s criticism of the Miss South Africa organisers and winners generated a heated debate over representation, identity, and the significance of promoting African culture.
