Burna Boy And G-Star Raw’s Collaboration Is A Cut Above The Rest, Pathing The Way For The Musician’s ‘On Form’ Teaser Visual

by

Burna Boy is the voice of Afro-fusion. But as of yesterday (February 12), the “Big 7” musician is also the new face of G-Star Raw. In an announcement posted to the luxury denim retailer’s social media accounts, the company unveiled its latest global campaign featuring the Grammy Award-winning entertainer.

In the supporting visual, a fashionable Burna Boy ferociously stomps around the world with his army of dancers. With Burna Boy dressed in the company’s limited edition Double Denim Edit line, his latest single, “On Form” off his album I Told Them.., serves as the musical inspiration to spark their high-energy choreography.

Although the entire collection has not been revealed, Burna Boy’s stamp of approval isn’t to be taken lightly. “Denim isn’t just fabric — it’s an extension of who I am,” he said in a statement. “Like my music, it’s personal, a dialogue between me and myself. Every stitch and every fade tell a story. G-Star gets that. They’re not about following trends. They’re about challenging norms, just like me. Our connection goes beyond fashion; it’s about pushing boundaries and embracing authenticity.”

The brand’s chief marketing officer, Gwenda van Vliet, shared her excitement about partnering with Burna Boy. “We are proud to continue our legacy in working with the world’s biggest inspirational icons,” she said. “Burna Boy is one of the most innovative artists of our time and the embodiment of today’s youth culture, challenging the norm in both style and music, which is very close to our heart.”

Details of the limited edition collection modeled by Burna Boy will be released soon. Find more information here.

Burna Boy’s Grammy Performance Of ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World’ With Brandy Continued His Role As Afrobeats Ambassador

Late last year, Uproxx called Burna Boy the perfect ambassador for Afrobeats to the rest of the world, especially the United States, after his sold-out arena tour stop in Los Angeles. Tonight, he continued in that role with a medly performance of his songs, “On Form” and “Sittin On Top Of The World” on the 2024 66th Annual Grammy Awards.

Burna was joined in the latter by Brandy, whose song was sampled her 1998 hit “Top Of The World,” and 21 Savage, who performed a laid-back verse in the vein of Mase, who was featured on the original.

The performance — and Burna’s four nominations this year — proved why Burna has held the role since Afrobeats’ breakout stateside, as his magnetism emanted off the stage. Burna’s been one of the genre’s biggest artists for the past seven years after singing to Atlantic Records in the US in 2017 and releasing a string of critically-acclaimed, fan-favorite albums, which includes African Giant, Twice As Tall, Love, Damini, and 2023’s I Told Them….

The latter garnered Burna his four nominations this year: Best Global Music Album; Best African Music Performance for “City Boys”; Best Global Music Performance for “Alone”; and Best Melodic Rap Performance for “Sittin’ On Top Of The World.” Going into tonight’s ceremony Burna held one previous win for Twice As Tall , which took home Best Global Music Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2021.

The countdown to Grammys 2024 has begun. Of course, the full nomination list has been revealed, but plenty of other elements of the ceremony have not yet been announced. So, what do we know so far? Well, for the fourth consecutive year, Trevor Noah will host the televised event.

What else? Outside of the primary award categories, Laurie Anderson, the Clark Sisters, Donna Summer, Gladys Knight, N.W.A., and Tammy Wynette will be honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award. But most folks are interested in what is slated to go down on the main stage. According to Billboard, Travis Scott, Luke Combs, and Burna Boy are the latest musicians confirmed to perform during the evening.

The gentlemen join previously named featured acts Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, and Billie Eilish. Each of the six singers is nominated in one category during the coveted event. Given the buzz surrounding the Barbie movie, fans hope that Dua Lipa and Eilish will treat the crowd to their songs featured on the film’s official soundtrack.

With two short weeks to go before the Grammys, there is still plenty of time for this list to expand yet again.

Stefflon Don And Jada Kingdom’s Explosive Feud Takes Yet Another Turn

by

In the vibrant world of Dancehall, where rhythm meets rivalry, a heated online feud between Stefflon Don and Jada Kingdom has escalated to shocking levels. The two talented artists, known for their fiery verses, are now engaged in a rap battle that has delved into personal accusations. Including claims of sacrificing family for fame. The drama has unfolded on social media, with diss tracks, warnings, and a desire to take the beef from the internet to the streets. The root of the dispute? Moreover, both Stefflon Don and Jada Kingdom reportedly share a romantic history with Nigerian superstar Burna Boy. However, over the past three days, their feud has played out on various social media platforms, accompanied by the release of petty diss tracks aimed at each other.

However, things took a dark turn when Kingdom dropped a fiery track titled “Steff Lazarus” on January 10. Accusing Stefflon Don of sacrificing her brother and father, and making other sensational claims. Stefflon Don, in response, vehemently denied all the allegations, addressing Kingdom as “Twinki” and expressing her lack of respect for the lies told in the diss track. Moreover, the 32-year-old rapper warned Kingdom about the dangerous game she was playing, urging her to come forward and face the consequences.

However, denouncing the “made-up stories” in Kingdom’s diss track, Stefflon Don called for a physical confrontation. Challenging her rival to step outside and fight. She criticized the lies being spread, emphasizing the impact on her son who would hear these false allegations. The Birmingham-bred artist questioned the ethics of making such claims for social media likes and urged Kingdom to spend time with her alleged new boo, Pardison Fontaine. Jada Kingdom, however, stood her ground during an Instagram Live session, asserting that she thoroughly researched and fact-checked the claims made in her song.

Moreover, she maintained that every statement was truthful and accused Stefflon Don of playing the victim card. As the feud continues to unfold, the Dancehall community watches with bated breath, torn between the entertainment value and the unsettling reality of personal accusations. The online drama has taken an unexpected turn into a realm where music clashes with personal lives, leaving fans wondering how this explosive saga will play out in the days to come.

Stefflon Don & Jada Kingdom’s Beef: Here’s An Explanation And Timeline Of Everything That’s Happened

by

This time of the year is usually a season of new beginnings, but for singers Stefflon Don and Jada Kingdom, it has been a time for the airing of grievances. The two artists have spent the week exchanging shots at each other in a feud that has drawn in Nigerian superstar Burna Boy and spawned a never-ending stream of reactions from fans. So, here’s an explanation of the players and how it all went down.

Who Is Stefflon Don?

Stefflon Don is a British-Jamaican rapper and singer whose 2017 breakout included appearances on tracks with the likes of Lil Yachty and French Montana and a MOBO Awards win for Best Female artist. She was featured on the 2018 XXL Freshman cover, and has continued to release singles throughout the past few years. She dated Burna Boy from 2019-2021, which is relevant to her feud with Jada Kingdom.

Who Is Jada Kingdom?

Jada Kingdom is a Jamaican dancehall singer who has gained popularity over the past four years thanks to high-profile collabs with artists like Popcaan and Skillibeng, with her most recent EP, Love Experience, dropping early this week. Her debut album, Twinkle will likely release sometime this year. She was romantically connected with Burna Boy in 2023, but has more recently been linked with Pardison Fontaine after his break from Megan Thee Stallion.

Why Do Stefflon Don And Jada Kingdom Have Beef?

On Tuesday (January 9), Stefflon Don released a new song, “Dat A Dat,” in which she slags off an unidentified female rival, accusing her of substance abuse, high body count, and selling her body for favors like jet trips. While she does not name Jada Kingdom specifically, the implication is that their time with shared beau Burna Boy may have had some overlap.

In any case, hit dogs holler, and Jada Kingdom may have felt like Stefflon Don was calling her out. She released her own track later that day, called “London Bed,” and cut through any ambiguity by making the artwork a photo of Steff with her eyes Xed out. She appears to respond, calling out the Londoner to “buss a move an’ meet mi anyweh.”

Today, Steff woke up and chose violence, coming back with her own response song, “Deadgyal Walking.” Like Jada, she dispenses with any pleasantries, getting right to the point — which is that she doesn’t think much of her would-be rival. The disses continue in much the same vein as “Dat A Dat,” accusing Jada of being a… shall we say, “loose woman.”

While Jada has yet to respond to this latest diss track, she doesn’t seem too invested in the beef to begin with. She had already seemingly moved on Tuesday, dropping an unrelated single called “Big Buddy,” as if to suggest she has more important things to do. She also said during a live she wasn’t sweating Burna Boy, who she deems kind of a hoe.

Meanwhile, fans have been watching and laughing, somewhat flabbergasted that all this apparently started over a man.

Burna Boy Caught Up In Jada Kingdom & Stefflon Don Beef: Twitter Reacts

by

City Boy’s up or nah? Burna Boy might be one of the most beloved musicians in the world right now but he’s found himself in some trouble with the ladies, namely his Jada Kingdom and Stefflon Don. While the Nigerian artist was once openly dating Stefflon Don, he recently sang about his affinity for Jada Kingdom on Byron Messia’s “Taliban (Remix),” including a Birkin Bag that he purchased for her. Months later, it appears that Don and Jada Kingdom have taken their issues with one another on wax.

Earlier this week, Stefflon Don shared her new song, “Dat A Dat,” where she alleges that an unnamed woman slept with her partner. However, given Burna Boy’s alleged romance with Jada Kingdom, it didn’t take long for her to respond to Stefflon seemingly. Jada initially denied having any sort of romantic relationship with Burna Boy. However, after leaving several comments regarding Stefflon Don’s song, Kingdom called the beef weird.  “It’s weird, because it’s behind a man… this n***a is for everybody. Last year she pass har remarks, I said nothing,” she said. Ultimately, Jada said that the only part about the song that concerned her surrounded the alleged threats made by Stefflon.

While Stefflon Don made her points heard on “Dat A Dat,” Jada Kingdom later took their issues to wax with a response record. Using Byron Messia’s “Taliban (Remix)” instrumental, she fired back with the release of “London Bed,” where she spits lines like “Buss a move an meet mi anyweh, you coward like puss yu nu bad from noweh.” At this point, we haven’t heard from Stefflon Don but Kingdom made her voice heard in this feud.

Despite Burna Boy being the focal point of this feud, Jada Kingdom is currently linked to Pardison Fontaine. After dropping the song, she explained on her IG story that she only responded “for my respect and for the culture.” She added, “she’s the only one beefing over a man I clearly don’t want.” So far, Burna Boy hasn’t chimed in on the matter but we suspect he’ll likely keep mum on the feud as long as it’s in the headlines.
