Critic describes Burna Boy’s new album ‘I Told Them’ as ‘worst career effort’

The critic stated that the songs had no substance


Barely a week after the release of Burna Boy’s ‘I Told Them’ album, a critic calls it the singer’s ‘poorest effort’ since the start of his career.

Daniel Regha, a divisive Twitter critic, made the claim in response to the singer’s claim that Twitter influenced the album.

Daniel Regha expressed in a tweet that the songs had no substance, only rhythms, and gave the musical composition a 3/10 rating for quality.

He further slammed Burna Boy for blatantly disparaging Nigerians in the song “Thanks,” which also featured American rapper J. Cole.

In his words;

Burna’s new album (I Told Them) is a 3/10, it’s the w¤rst effort from Burna since he started his career. The beats are great but the songs had n¤ substance; The entire album also promoted p¤mposity, encouraged v!olence & explicit lyrics.

“Furthermore, the album title doesn’t correlate with the theme. Burna also dissing Nigerians in “Thanks” ft J. Cole was not cool, plus some intros were n¤t necessary. The album was n¤t worth the wait or hype. No offense.”

Other music enthusiasts’ have reacted to the notion in a conflicting way, with some agreeing to it while others disagreeing.

Burna boy in another news, stated that “90% of Afrobeat artists don’t have substance in their music”
