Rave of the moment Buju has said there is no animosity between his former record label boss, Burna Boy and himself.
In a recent chat with GoldMyne TV, the “Outside” said he and Burna are still in good terms even though he left a year after he got signed by his record label.
Buju said his former boss said he is amazing and peaceful.
“Burna is quite an amazing person because we still talk and get to meet at different functions even after I’d left the label. So, it’s like, I mean, we are the best of people. The difference is, people don’t know this but Burna is as peaceful as ever,” he said.
Explaining his absence at Burna’s London O2 Arena show, Buju said he had prior engagement in Nigeria about the same time. And cancelling it would have meant making a refund, which he could not afford to.

He said: “I was in Lagos. Everybody has different schedules because I can’t necessarily leave like a paid gig here and travel to London. I have to refund.
“And trust me, it’s a lot of money to refund. But you know, if one doesn’t work, it probably will work in the other.”
On April 16, 2020, Grammy award-winning singer, Burna Boy’s record label announced the signing of afro-fusion artist, Buju.
A statement on the label’s official Instagram page, @spacecollective reads, “Please welcome our new Afro-Fusion artist @bujutoyourears #SpaceFam.”
According to him, he parted ways with the label amicably in order to concentrate on his career. Adding, both parties came to an understanding when his contract ended in April 2021.
