In an interview with Noah, Burna Boy explained the reasons for his outburst over the Coachella poster in January.
Recall that Burna Boy had accused Coachella of disrespecting him by writing his name in small fonts.
Explaining the situation to Noah, he said, “I am looking for my name and I can’t find my name. I am like – am I really performing?
“They had to circle it for me. That’s never happened to me before. I am used to being the African giant.
“I didn’t like it and I expressed myself. Not just for that but so, everyone that comes after me won’t have to go through that,” he said.
Trevor Noah noted that people might not understand Burna Boy’s huge influence as an artist in Nigeria and in Africa, the continent with one of the world’s largest population.
‘The Daily Show’ is an American late-night talk show that piques on satire and self-deprecatory humour to discuss socially and culturally relevant stories.
The show has won 24 Primetime Emmy Awards.
