I was musically exhausted – Burna Boy

“He [Sidhu Moose Wala] was one of the biggest inspirations I had at a time when I felt like I’d already done it all musically,” he remarked. I felt like I’d musically exhausted myself in my thoughts because I was listening to everything and nothing made sense to me.

“I felt like I’d already covered everything. Everything has already been said [in songs]. But Sidhu added a new dimension to my musicality. He is a living legend. The Punjab mythology. It will never be repeated.”
