Burna Boy Gives Sneakpeek off his Upcoming Album, “Twice As Tall”

A while ago, Burna Boy revealed the title and month of release of his 4th studio album titled, “Twice As all.”

The upcoming album, which was inspired by his music mother, Angelique Kidjo is billed to be released sometime in July 2020.

To further whet our appetite, Burna Boy took to his Instalive to give us an amazing first listen to one of the tracks in his upcoming album “Level Up”.

We can’t wait.

Common guys it’s April Fools Day!

This should go down as the lamest April Fools day in history.

And trust us, we’ve seen quite a lot of lame ones.

There is a shortage of the usual bland ‘new month’ messaging that clogs our WhatsApp, no attempts to try and roll out an April Fools scam and worst of all, no brand willing to reel out any PR giveaway or discount on April Fools Day.
.

Why?
.

They are not sure if covid would approve.(notice how I stripped it off its power by starting its name in lowercase ‘c’?) .

The damned virus is slowly drowning our spirit and that should be the last frontier it should conquer.

So guys, we know it doesn’t look like there’s cause to be happy and all, but we should make an attempt to find joy in the littlest things; like a brand new month and another April Fools Day.

So Happy New Month to everyone who’s still fighting.

We will overcome.

Trust me, we will.

If that wasn’t the case, the world would have ended in 1918.

Governments are urging citizens to refrain from making corona virus April Fools’ day jokes.

Officials around the world urged citizens this week to refrain from spreading coronavirus hoaxes on April 1, warning that the pandemic is no laughing matter and that misinformation about it could put lives at risk.

“It’s against the law to fake having COVID-19 this April Fools’ Day,” the Thai government warned on Twitter.

In Taiwan and India, officials similarly threatened legal action against anyone found to spread misleading information about the virus. But not everyone heeded such calls.
