“Burna is in league of his own” - Peters
Clarence did not mince words when crowning Burna Boy as the biggest artist in Nigeria. According to him, the African Giant has something others struggle to maintain: a genuine love for the stage and a clear understanding of what it takes to dominate it.
Clearance Peters said:
“Burna Boy is the biggest Nigerian artiste, hands down. He loves being on stage, but also understands what he needs to be on stage.”
For Clarence, it’s not just about talent or hit songs. It’s about intentionality, a rare quality he stated that Burna has mastered by surrounding himself with skilled professionals who enhance his brand.
He noted that while Nigeria has many amazing performers, not all of them command the stage like stars.
He said:
“There’s a difference between an amazing actor and a star. If you’re looking for amazing performances, go to the theatre. That’s not what you’re supposed to see here.”
In Clarence’s view, Burna Boy delivers not only technically sound performances but also commands presence — the kind that makes fans stop scrolling and start watching.
