Veteran Nollywood actor Patrick Doyle has criticized Nigerian Grammy-Winning star Damini Ogulu, known as Burna Boy, and argued that he does not deserve to be labeled one of the greatest in music. Doyle made this assertion in a social media post, where he contended that Burna Boy should not be credited for recent achievements in Nigerian music, asserting that the "last last" artist has not achieved enough to be considered great.

He stated, "The recognition for the achievements that seem to be elevating artists like Burna Boy should be appropriately attributed to the legends who paved the challenging paths, making it easier for artists like him to navigate."

“Burna Boy has not by himself done anything that can be remotely described as great. He and his peers are recipients of the labors of heroes past. They need to be humble and respectful of their diligent and truly pioneering predecessors.

“Great artistes like SunnyAde, Fela Anikulapo, Majek Fashek , I, k. Dairo and a galaxy of others who paved the way from the 60s, to the 2000s. Greatness and great feats don’t exist in a vacuum.

“Let us not contribute to the creation of an arrogant and obnoxious monster.” Patrick Doyle noted.

His words, “90 percent of them (Nigerian musicians) have no real life experiences which is why most of Nigerian music or African music or Afrobeats as people call it, is mostly about nothing, literally nothing.

“There is no substance to it — like, nobody is talking about anything in it. it is just a great time. It’s an amazing time. But at the end of the day, life is not an amazing time. No matter how nice of a time you are having now or you had at some point or you plan to have, you are still going to face life.”
