Today, August 25th 2023, Grammy Award winner, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu professionally known as Burnaboy released his seventh studio album, “I Told Them.”
The 15 track album from Burnaboy features top acts like rapper J Cole, 21 Savage, Dave, Bryon Messiah and Nigeria’s Seyi Vibez.
Burnaboy released the new album days after he addressed Afrobeats as a music genre that has no substance and by extension created his own genre known as Afro Fusion.

However, the new album “I Told Them” by Burnaboy is one of the trending conversations on popular microblogging platform Twitter and by extension sends mixed signals.
Many of the internet users who have listened to the song said none of the songs in Burnaboy’s new album has shown the potential of shattering records like those in ‘Love Damini’, with particular reference to ‘Last Last’.
A controversial Twitter influencer identified as Daniel Regha wrote; “Burna’s new album (I Told Them) is a 3/10, it’s the w¤rst effort from Burna since he started his career. The beats are great but the songs had n¤ substance; The entire album also promoted p¤mposity, encouraged v!olence & explicit lyrics. Furthermore, the album title doesn’t correlate with the theme. Burna also dissing Nigerians in “Thanks” ft J. Cole was not cool, plus some intros were n¤t necessary. The album was n¤t worth the wait or hype. No offense.”

@Olamide0fficial: Burna Boy’s new album is literally a response to internet trolls. It’s clear everything twitter people have been saying are getting under his skin 🥴.
@KinqKudos: This is actually Burna boy’s worst album since 2018. He put together 15 garbages and called it a body of work. The album lacks substance and proper ingredients. I rate it 4/10.
@obajemujnr: “I told them” by Burna just made me appreciate “timeless” more; the energy Davido injected in that album is absolutely unmatched. Burna Boy drifted from afrobeat to afro-sampling. Hopefully his fans enjoy Afro-repetition.
@Lirahagain: This is Burna’s worst album ever.
@Shine04jr: I’d rate Burna Boy’s ‘I Told Them’ album a 2/10. While the production quality might be commendable, it’s essential to highlight the glaring lack of depth and substance in the lyrical content. Music, especially from an artist of Burna Boy’s caliber, should evoke emotion, tell a story, or at the very least, convey a profound message. Unfortunately, about 90% of the tracks in this album felt superficial and lacked the depth one would expect.
@_the_khalid: 2/10 Na seyi vibes get that 2 sef J cole did rubbish on d album.
@Neyoo06: Na -4 I give ham as it stands….I might still have to take more marks from him before the day ends…. I’m still trying to figure it out here because I don’t know how a Burna boy would dropped such a mid song… na like this he wan win Grammy award? You guys need to tell him the truth fr.
@ejikeodika: Before I judge or rate album now, I will wait 1 month 😂 From no where it might end up as the best album in 2023 😩.
