Henry, a former teammate of Super Eagles legend Nwankwo Kanu, asked Burna Boy if he was better than Jay Jay Okocha.

He said, “I have one for you, you go Kanu or Okocha? 

Burna Boy did not take the bait an chose to instead tell Henry close to his ear.

He said,  “Don’t do this to me, man. No, I can’t do this.

“This is treachery. It is treason. I can get hanged for it.”

It was a monster exposure for Burna Boy, as he continues to solidify his reputation as one of the greatest musical acts ever and is now tipped to perform at the Super Bowl next.
