Burna Boy tells Apple Music about working with Shaboozey

Grammy‑winning worldwide star Burna Boy met with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden for a special interview marking the launch of his eighth studio record, No Sign of Weakness. In the discussion, the Afrobeats legend revealed details about the album’s creation and his work with Shaboozey, Travis Scott, and The Rolling Stones.

During a highlight, Burna Boy talked about collaborating with Shaboozey on the song “Change Your Mind”, sharing their immediate bond: “I didn’t know he was actually Nigerian… But with Shaboozey, when I’m speaking Pidgin and he understands it… From the first day we met, it was like we knew each other for ages. That’s my brother, man.”

The conversation underscores Burna Boy’s worldwide reach and cultural pride, as he melds sounds and narratives across borders. No Sign of Weakness—an album that blends Afrobeats, hip‑hop, and rock elements—is now available for streaming everywhere.

Read the Dialogue below;

Burna Boy: Well, okay, so here’s the thing. I didn’t realize he was actually Nigerian. Nigerian, right? But before he arrived, they'd say to Matthew and Chib [Chibueze/Shaboozey], “Hey, do you know this guy’s Nigerian? Right?” Then when Matthew says someone is Nigerian, it feels like they only have a trace of Nigerian heritage. There's never been that. You get what I mean? We love and respect them just the same. You get what I mean? Then it’s like, I don’t expect to start speaking Pidgin or Yoruba to you and expect you to understand that kind of stuff. You get what I mean?
Ebro Darden: Yeah.
Burna Boy: But with Shaboozey, when I’m talking, his name is Chibueze and everything, and I’m speaking Pidgin and he gets it. You feel me? From the first day we met, it felt like we had known each other forever.
Ebro Darden: Yeah. Very familiar.
Burna Boy: Yeah. So it’s like, that’s my brother, man.
