American rapper, Diddy writes a letter to Africa after working with Nigerian star, Burna Boy on his 5th studio album, Twice As Tall.
The album has bagged amazing international recognition and Diddy’s spice on it was also acknowledged.
Taking to Twitter, the rapper says Africa has always been on his mind, and he’s been in search of ways to connect to her soulfully.
“Dear Africa, you have been heavy on my mind and my heart … I’ve been trying to connect to the motherland for a minute, but I never got a chance to do it properly. When I say properly, I mean in a soulful spiritual way.”
However, he’s grateful for the connection he got with Burna Boy. He calls it a divine, as the singer is the first African he is blessed to work with.
“He’s the first African artist I’ve been blessed to work with and he didn’t know this but at the time I was praying to God to bring something to me that would help to bring us all together through music.”
The rapper urged Africans to build together and increase, because that’s what “they” fear the most.
He concluded with “see y’all soon.” Which means he plans coming to Africa.
“I think it’s so important we all make it our mission to build a bridge to the motherland. Let’s continue to uplift and build with our brothers and sisters. It’s what THEY fear the most… Strength in numbers. Love, your brother Diddy. See y’all soon! ”
But during this time we’ve had off, God blessed me to get a call from my brother @BurnaBoy.
