Uche Jombo has cautioned New York Post for the choice of words used in a post about Burna Boy.
The foreign publication published an article about Burna Boy with the headline: “Beyoncé-endorsed Burna Boy makes Afrobeat go international.”
The headline angered a number of Nigerians and they took to Twitter to point out that Burna Boy was big before Beyonce but the headline makes it seem like Beyonce’s endorsement is what made the Nigerian singer and his craft go international.
Uche Jombo reacted by quote-tweeting New York Post’s tweet and adding: “I love Beyonce as the next person but you are wrong with this ..Beyonce-endorsed Burna Boy “makes” a whole AFROBEAT go international such a think piece let down by the headline. Do better.”
