So someone called Burna Boy's 'Wonderful' a mess and some say the video validates the western idea that Africans still lives caves.

Well before I explain the Wonderful video. Let me showcase a subtle but yet powerful concept that Burna Boy has implemented over the years.

👇
Burna Boy has for long implemeted a concept of buidling castles from stones thrown at you.

He has a unique and powerful ability to makes lemonades out of lemons.

This is best explained by Tyrion Lannister in this scene from Game Of Thrones
So now let's look into it ...

* Osagie said controvery would kill Burna's career and what did he do?
He made it the intro of his OAS album and grew beyond it

* He was trashed when he called himself the African Giant and what did he do?
He went on to create the greatest ...
African album in recent time named 'African Giant'

*Africans have long been insulted with being baboons or look alike of gorillas and what did he do?
He transformed the gorilla image into a giant symbol for all Africans.

*He was dragged and tagged Ikorodu Lucky Dube ...
and what did he do?
He gave a shout out to Ikorodu in Jerusalema rmx and made a huge hit out of it.

*Africa has long been called a nation rather than a continent as a means to rubbish us as irrelevant and what did he do?
He called Africa a nation during his BET speech as term ..
of unity to signify Africans uniting as one and being stronger than ever.

*Africans have long been believed to live in caves be a sad set of people and what did he do?

He showed everyone that yes this is our heritage and we are Wonderfully happy with it as we go on from here...
to conquer the world and stand Twice As Tall.

#TwiceAsTall
And to understand the concept behind the song 'Wonderful' itself
