Ace Afrobeats singer and songwriter, Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy has disclosed that late Indian rapper, Sidhu Moose Wala inspired him to get back to his best when he got “musically exhausted.”
The ‘Last Last’ crooner made the revelation while featuring as a guest on BBC Radio 1Xtra in London, United Kingdom.
According to the Grammy-winning Nigerian artiste, the late singer was his source of inspiration at a time when he was looking for a lift after he had tired out musically.
He went on to describe him as a legend and revealed that he was working on a joint project with Sidhu Moose Wala before he was assassinated in May 2022.
Speaking during the chat, Burna Boy said, “He [Sidhu Moose Wala] was one of the biggest inspirations I had at a time when I felt like I’ve already musically done it all. I felt like I’d exhausted myself musically in my head because I was listening to everything and nothing was making sense to me.
“I felt like I’ve already spoken about everything. I already said everything [in songs]. But Sidhu brought another angle to my musicality. He is a legend. The legend of Punjab. There will never be another one.”
