In an interview with American media outlet Complex, Burna Boy said that he took a trip down memory lane on his Twitter page and discovered that he had previously tweeted about all he is achieving now. This inspired him to name the album “I Told Them.”

“I was going through my old tweets and I saw all the things I said I was going to do,” Burna Boy said. “I saw all the things I said I was going to achieve, and I realized that I had actually achieved them all. So I thought, ‘I told them!'”

The album, which is set to be released on August 25, is a collection of songs that Burna Boy says are about “success, self-belief, and perseverance.” He said that he hopes the album will inspire others to never give up on their dreams.

“This album is for anyone who has ever been doubted or underestimated,” Burna Boy said. “It’s for anyone who has ever been told that they can’t do something. I want this album to be a reminder that anything is possible if you believe in yourself.”

Burna Boy is one of the most popular and successful musicians in Africa. He has won numerous awards, including a Grammy Award for Best Global Music Album in 2021. His music is known for its fusion of Afrobeats, dancehall, and reggae.

The release of “I Told Them” is expected to be a major event in the African music scene. Burna Boy is one of the most anticipated artists in the world right now, and his new album is expected to be a hit.
