Meet Burna Boy's grandpa

Burna Boy's grandpa, Benson Idons, used to be Fela Anikulapo Kuti's manager. See who inspired him? His grandpa managed one of the greatest musicians Africa has ever known.

I know your next question; no, it's not news, it's just FYI! Hehe!

  34. Never heard of 'Burna Boy' but I am quite familiar with Benson Idonijie a former manager to the Abami Eda himself. He has a lucid mind and he is a bona fide encyclopedia on all things West African culture and music. I learnt a lot from him during his days in the Guardian (not sure if he has moved on). With a pedigree like this, Burna Boy has no reason not to succeed as an artist.
