“Burna Boy Is An Inspiration To All African Artiste” – KiDi (Video)
Popular Ghanaian high-life and afrobeats singer, Dennis Nana Dwamena better known as KiDi has revealed that Burna Boy’s Grammy Win Broke Down Doors for Other Africans.
Kidi disclosed this during an interview he had with veteran music journalist, Adesope Olajide via Instagram live on Wednesday, 7th July 2021.
When quizzed about his award aspirations in light of Burna Boy’s recent successes on the international stage, the “Odo” hit-maker responded by congratulating Burna on his Grammy win, stating that it opened a lot of doors for African artists, including himself.
KiDi further said that Burna Boy’s Grammy win inspired a lot of artists like himself to dream bigger.
He also said that he is not working towards winning any award. Insisting that he will do his work and let this things fall into place as they will.
He said;
Before Burna’s award, shoutout to Burna on a huge huge success. Before that, whenever Grammys are mentioned to African artists, we had that thing of we’ll get there, one day. We don’t know, but we’ll get there. It was that feeling, right? But after Burna did it, like you said, he broke down the doors. Every African artists coming up, myself looking on that day watching on TV. All I could have on my mind was it is possible, it can be done. Now I go to sleep with a fresh mindset and different outlook in life. With hard work, with dedication, with the right mind, pushing, breaking boundaries, I can do it. As an African artist, I don’t know about other artists. I keep saying that I personally, my philosophy is not linked to working towards the Grammy, or work towards the BET or any awards. I feel like if I do my work, if I work hard, push hard and let the music itself speak for me, everything else will fall in place
Kidi bagged three awards at the just concluded VGMAs in Ghana. However, the singer was highly critical after he lost out on the Artiste of the Year category to gospel act, Diana Hamilton.
