Joe Budden, a seasoned American rapper and media figure, has referred to Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy as the “biggest artiste in the world.”
Although he acknowledged Burna Boy’s prominence as a major figure in the music industry, he said he didn’t like how, after appearing in the remix, he claimed ownership of the popular song “Talibans” by Jamaican musician Byron Messia.
Even when Kenye West did something similar a few years ago, according to Joe Budden, he was “vehemently against it.”
In a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Budden Network, he made this claim.
I’m never a fan of people claiming ownership of songs that have previously been recorded after being included in a remix, the man declared.
“To Burna Boy, the biggest artist in the world. Yes, I dislike it when it happens. Go work it if you got the hit. That ought to be yours right away if Burna Boy is on it. However, I am unaware of the enterprise that Byron Messia and Burna Boy engaged in.
“I don’t ever recall that working out for anyone. I was very opposed to it, as was Kenye [West] the designer.
