During a recent interview on Kiss Fresh British radio, Burna Boy got candid about his experience with colorism and how it plays into the intro of his latest single, "City Boys."
The singer revealed that he chose to insert a clip of British rapper J Hus reclaiming the word “ugly” after reflecting on the point in time where darker-skinned men were called names and lighter-skinned men were typically preferred.
“That was the view society had of us. The whole narrative has changed, and now it’s like, ‘Hmmm, so the whole time they were trying to finesse us."
