Burna Boy, the Grammy-winning artist, has dismissed claims made by Logos Olori, a signee of Davido, that he employs songwriters. Olori suggested that due to their busy schedules, top artists like Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido often use songwriters.
Responding on his X handle, Burna Boy clarified that the credited names on his songs are actually producers, not lyricists. He attributed this to Western music standards where producers are considered writers of the instrumentals.
In his own words: “Any name you see credited on my songs are only producers of the songs or featured artists, not writers. But for some reason, the Western world considers producers as writers of the instrumentals and they just throw their names on there as writers. Nobody fit write for Odogwu.”
This statement contradicts a previous admission where Burna Boy acknowledged that Peruzzi, a signee of Davido, had written a song for him.
