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 said what your Pastor, your parents and your Sunday school teachers have been saying for years and you are on Twitter canceling her ?
Ok Twitter Excommunicado 🙌

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.

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

I've relocated several times and attended many churches & Christian schools. They all say Muslims worship false gods.

I've also read Muslim literature just for the fun of it. They also say Christians worship false gods.

Let's stop pretending to be shocked at what Maraji said.

“Maraji is cancelled” but your mum has been begging you not to eat sallah meat since yesterday
