Nigerian Afrobeat artiste Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, has revealed that his song ‘Thanks’ from his seventh studio album “I Told Them” was inspired by his grandmother.

According to the singer, the track reflects his grandmother’s contradictory emotions: she would urge him to come home, but would swiftly ask him to leave whenever he visited her.

Burna Boy shared that for this year’s holiday season, he plans to spend December exclusively with his grandmother, emphasizing that his song ‘Thanks’ encapsulates his relationship with her.

Burna Boy expressed, “My grandma used to be crying for me to come back home; now she’s on edge every time I come back home and is already asking when I’m leaving.

“This is why I made ‘Thanks’. I’m rolling with only her this December for peace to reign.”
