Burna Boy has apologised for his comments criticising Afrobeats music, saying that they stemmed from a place of unhappiness. The initial comments divided fan opinion back in 2023, when the Nigerian singer, songwriter and record producer spoke to Zane Lowe for Apple Music, and shared that he thought the Afrobeats genre as a whole was devoid of any deeper meaning. “Half of them, [actually,] 90 per cent of them, have almost no real-life experiences that they can understand,” he claimed. “That’s why you hear most Nigerian music, African Music, or Afrobeats, as people call it, is mostly about nothing, literally nothing.” “There is no substance to it, like nobody is talking about anything. It’s just a great time, an amazing time,” he added. “But at the end of the day, life isn’t an amazing time.” Now, two years on, the artist –who became the first African artist to headline a stadium show in the UK in 2023 – has looked back at his comments and said that it came in retaliation for feeling like he was being confined to one genre. “I didn’t understand why people wanted my music to be inside one box,” he said when speaking to BBC 1Xtra’s Eddie Kadi, in a new interview. Burna says he was "in a dark place mentally" when he made the comments. "I wasn't the happiest man in the world," he says He says the "division" his words caused helped him to "come to terms" with his opinion. "I got the point of the Afrobeats tag in that moment," he says. "I totally get it and I apologise for that confusion." "I learnt to embrace the fact that I will always be different," he says. "I'm not going to be the favourite but I'm going to be the best."

🍒🌽DUNAMIS SEEDS OF DESTINY A Daily Devotional by Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche TUESDAY, 22ND JULY 2025. TOPIC: WHAT MATTERS MOST IN LIFE SCRIPTURE: Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. ECCLESIASTES 12:13 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It is not whether we are citizens of a particular nation, but whether we are citizens of Heaven; that is what matters most. We live in a world where unprofitable activities and ungodly pleasure have become the cravings of many people. It is obvious that many people do not know what really matters in life, so they end up chasing shadows. Many people ended the journey of life in regret because they were busy chasing shadows on earth in their lifetime. They ended up wasting their lives and energy in the wrong pursuit. This is why it is important to know what matters most in life, so we don’t end up in regret at the end of our journey on earth. Today, we shall be looking at the things that matter most in life. 1. It is not who we are but whose we are, that matters most in life (1John 5:4-5, John 3:16). If you are a doctor, lawyer, millionaire, billionaire, etc. it does not matter as much as whom you belong to. People’s achievements on earth do not matter if they do not have a functional relationship with God. 2. It is not whether we are citizens of a particular nation, but whether we are citizens of Heaven; that is what matters most in life. There are those who celebrate how they became citizens of the USA, the UK, Germany, etc. All that is alright, but it does not matter which passport you have, if you do not have the passport to Heaven; it is a waste of life (Revelation 20:15). 3. It is not where we are going to spend holidays and vacations, but where we are going to spend eternity that matters most. Many people say, “I am going to spend summer holiday in Europe. I am going to Dubai.” It is alright, but where are you going to spend eternity. It is what matters most. 4. It is not the quality of the physical dress on our body but the purity of our spiritual garment that matters most. In Zechariah 3:1-4, Joshua, the High Priest, as a minister, was clothed in filthy garments before the Angel. There are people who look like king Solomon in their physical apperance but look like vultures in the spirit. 5. It is not the amount of money in your bank account but the eternal deposits in our kingdom account with God that matters. For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul (Mark 8:36)? Beloved, to live a fulfilled life on earth and end well in eternity, you have to focus on the things that matter most in life. Remember this: It is not whether we are citizens of a particular nation but whether we are citizens of Heaven; that is what matters most in life. ASSIGNMENT(S): 1. Assess your heart: where would you be if you found yourself in eternity now? 2. Determine to pursue only the things that matter most in life. 3. Make demands on God’s grace to walk in His Will. PRAYER: Lord, help me to focus on the things that matter most in life. Remove every distraction from my life and cause me to walk in Your Will Lord, in Jesus’ Name. FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: WHAT MATTERS MOST IN LIFE DAILY BIBLE READING: Isaiah 22-24 QUOTE: Any step taken outside God is a step into disaster. Culled from the book, 21 Foolish Things People Do by Dr Paul Enenche. AMAZING FACT: The nearest heavenly body to us is the moon, and the moon is approximately 245,000 miles away. PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: The Lord help you to focus on that which really matters in life in Jesus Name. #DrPaulEnenche #DrBeckyEnenche

Choose wisely... I rest my fact

```Gaslighting is when they repeatedly trigger you mentally. They blame you when you react to their manipulative behaviour, but will never accept accountability, or discuss their disrespect. Gaslighting isn’t just manipulation—it’s a calculated attack on your reality! Call it out, break free, and reclaim your power! Fun fact: Gaslighters crumble when you don't care about their version of reality.```

People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe.

The truth is more important than the facts.

Facts are many, but the truth is one.

A High School Yearbook Photo Might Predict How Long You'll Live Twelve impartial volunteers assessed the physical attractiveness of 8,386 high school graduates from the class of 1957 based on their yearbook photos. The graduates were categorized into six groups by attractiveness level, and researchers tracked who had passed away by 2022. Those deemed least attractive faced a 16.8% higher mortality risk compared to others. However, no significant difference in death rates was found between individuals of average attractiveness and the most attractive ones. While considering factors like education and income reduced the significance of these differences, health status emerged as the most influential variable. The authors acknowledge that the reasons behind this correlation remain unclear and advocate for further research to understand the connection. 🌟
