During a recent interview on the Rap Radar Podcast hosted by Elliott Wilson, Burna Boy revealed that before recording any music, he, J. Cole, and a group of towering basketball players engaged in meaningful conversations about life and various subjects.
While discussing their experiences, Burna Boy mentioned that he doesn’t typically engage in lengthy conversations with people who aren’t part of his close circle. However, during this interaction, he found himself opening up.
In a surprising turn, J. Cole, during their conversation, reportedly referred to Burna Boy as “Tupac” and stated that he saw Burna Boy as a reincarnation of the legendary hip-hop figure Tupac Shakur in Africa.
