Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Damini Ogulu, famously known as Burna Boy, has announced a profound shift in his identity, telling fans struggling to accept his new persona that the "old version" of him has "died."

In a candid post shared on the official Instagram page for his upcoming album, ‘No Sign Of Weakness,’ Burna Boy attributed the demise of his previous self to Nigerians. He revealed an ongoing internal struggle between his past and present identities.

"The ‘African Giant’ Burna Boy died. His own people killed him," he wrote. "Then ‘Big 7’ was born to protect what was left of ‘Burna Boy.’ Burna Boy and Big 7 fight each other a lot because while Big 7 is only protecting the final and only existing piece of Burna Boy’s broken heart, the ‘African Giant’ still haunts Burna Boy."

This introspective declaration suggests a turbulent journey of self-discovery and a response to external pressures that have shaped his artistic and personal evolution. Fans are now anticipating how this "new version" will manifest in his forthcoming album, ‘No Sign Of Weakness.’
