Responding on Thursday via his X handle, Osupa described Burna Boy’s recognition as “a monumental moment that celebrates the soul of Fuji music and its timeless influence.”
He went on to explain that the global acknowledgement “not only, uplifts my journey, but also, shines a brilliant light on our rich cultural heritage, bridging generations and genres worldwide.”
Expressing gratitude to Burna Boy, the Fuji icon added that he looked forward to attending one of the Afrofusion star’s upcoming concerts as a show of support.
Meanwhile, in the same conversation with Federer, Burna Boy also listed 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., Big Pun, and J Hus as his “GOAT rappers,” further cementing his eclectic taste and respect for diverse genres.
For fans of Fuji, Osupa’s response highlights how Burna Boy’s tribute has not only honored one artiste but also elevated the entire Fuji tradition on a global stage.
