He said that Drake sent him a couple beats to work on for More Life \u2014 which he happily did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s his decision.

It\u2019s a big deal for him to even reach out to me in the first place \u2014 that\u2019s my big deal. It\u2019s not that deep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the rest of the interview, he spoke about the rising \u2018afro-music\u2019 scene in the UK, how lit his Christmas in Lagos was and his favourite songs off his new album \u2014 \u201cYe\u201d, \u201cPH City Vibration\u201d, \u201cSekkle Down\u201d and \u201cOutside\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 73 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Friday, 2 February 2018 Source: ghkings.com 2018-02-02 Burna Boy thinks the whole thing has been blown out of proportion Nigerian singer Burna Boy has set the record straight on Tim Westwood TV following his assertion that he authored five (5) songs on Drake\u2019s \u2018More Life\u2019.
