Burna Boy’s message of perseverance and fighting for one’s rights resonated as he accepted the award.

Receiving his Brit 2 billion streams plaque, Burna Boy revealed that he fought for it.

He said: “Thank you very much. I appreciate you. Ehen, now that’s it. You’ve to fight for your right.”

One of the presenters inferred: “You already have it. You don’t need to fight.”

Burna Boy rebuffed: “No. You know, we have to fight for our rights.”
