Nigerian music sensation and Grammy Award-winning artiste Burna Boy has reacted to criticisms regarding his philanthropic efforts, asserting that he prefers to support causes quietly rather than through public displays.

The criticism stemmed from comparisons to fellow artistes, notably Davido, who frequently engage in visible acts of charity such as retailer giveaways and large monetary donations.

Burna Boy, a native of Port Harcourt, responded to the scrutiny by highlighting his targeted approach to giving, emphasizing that his contributions often go to those in genuine need in areas that may not garner internet attention.

Despite not always engaging in high-profile acts of charity, Burna Boy reassured his critics that he does indeed give back to communities and individuals in need.

In his response, the Port Harcourt-born singer said: “I do giveaway to people that really need it, places that matter, and most of them are not on the internet. My philanthropy speaks louder than social media.“

The singer’s assertion that “most of them are not on the internet” underscores his commitment to addressing real needs in marginalised communities, regardless of whether his actions receive widespread online attention.

Moreover, his emphasis on supporting “places that matter” underscores contextually relevant aid that addresses systemic issues and empowers communities for long-term change.
