Burnaboy On The Daily Show With Trevor Noah

In a bid to promote his new album ‘African Giant’, Burnaboy has been making appearances on some American TV shows. This week he was on The Daily Show where he sat down for a chat with Trevor Noah and performed his hit songs “Anybody” and “Ye”. This came just a few weeks after he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1, and Ebro in the Morning on Hot 97, New York.

Fans have reacted to this interview, praising the “On the Low” crooner for the strides he has been making in the music industry.

Burna Boy is proof that if you stay on your lane, committed, persistent, dedicated to your craft at your pace, the stars will align for you.

The fact Burna boy didn’t have to change his style of music or sound foreign, yet he still managed to go international makes him the greatest African artiste of his generation. #AfricanGiant pic.twitter.com/7PhwI8G3SP

Maraji

This week, Instagram comedian Maraji set social media abuzz after she made a controversial comment implying that Christianity is the only true religion and dismissing other religions. While some fans have expressed their disapproval about her comment, others seemed to be in support of her and are indifferent about her views.

Maraji was very insensitive posting that on their festive day knowing her influence and diverse audience.

However what Maraji said is the very foundation of Christianity…like a basic tenet of the religion.

I'm not a religious person but let's not pretend please.

As an atheist, you believe the idea of God is stupid, nobody comes for you.

As a Muslim, you believe only Muslims would go to Jannah, nobody comes for you.

Almost every religion says non-adherents will go to hell.

But the children of Ekwensu are crying over Maraji’s comments.

While @Maraji_ is entitled to her belief that all religions other than Christianity are false, she’s insensitive to her fans in that regard. We all believe our religion is THE answer, but there’s wisdom in knowing how to deal with a diverse society, especially as a public figure.

Most Christians believe other religions are wrong and their adherents will burn in hell.

Most Muslims believe other religions are wrong and their adherents will burn in hell.

Same with Hindus, Sikhs, Judaists etc. It is the nature of Religion. Maraji didn't say anything new
