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."⁠ ⁠ Swipe 👉🏾 to hear Burna's full explanation. // #BurnaBoy #CityBoys⁠ ⁠ 🎥: kissfresh
