Afrobeat sensation, Burna Boy has explained that the “OGs” he listed are people who impacted his life personally.
He gave the explanation while concluding his previous Instagram Live session.
Recall that the “Last Last” crooner listed with reasons the veteran singers he respects which included Timaya, Wande Coal, D’Banj, 2Baba, Larry Gaga, amongst others.
In a follow-up video, the singer asserted that his Instagram Live ended before he could give his conclusion and stated that when he listed his OGs, he meant people who impacted his life personally, not music-wise.
