Metro Indianapolis is 2 million, Memphis is 1.3 million, sell out FedEx Forum and I’m :ehh:

These are not markets with significant amounts of people aware of or consuming Global music. If you sell out an arena in those markets you most likely a top 40 pop act. That is not impressive to me.

a Nigerian artist selling out MSG. With 0 top 40 play is monumental. Him and wiz kid becoming global superstars is not insignificant. 4 years ago, while being home in Panama they was playing burna boy on the radio. He’s much bigger now than then. Middle America understanding that isn’t important

And I don't see how considering at least 2/3rd of the Coli claimed Nigeria before ADOS became a thing.

@Houston911 you might wanna do work in here :mjpls:
Funny thing is I remember dudes on here rooting for Nigeria during the 2014 World Cup.:mjlol: I was one of the only cats actively rooting for America. Now that you know who told them it’s ok, I bet everyone’s gonna be repping America this year.:dead:

If you can still talking about me then why didn't you reply to my response to you?
You can't seem to grasp that not everyone listens to mainstream radio (if that's where he is played), most of us are in our 30s and up so we aren't hanging with young 20-somethings at the club, and most of us aren't around a bunch of UK bruhs and Africans so we don't have people putting us on to that genre?
You getting bent out of shape because we don't know who Burna Boy is
