Nigerian Entertainment News: “This is the way I greet GRAMMYS” – Slimcase Explains His Gesture Towards Burna Boy
Popular Nigerian hypeman Slimcase recently stirred reactions online after he was seen prostrating to greet 33-year-old Burna Boy at the prominent Secret Palace nightclub in Lagos
The gesture sparked mixed opinions on social media, with some users criticizing Slimcase for bowing to Burna Boy, who is younger than him. Responding to the backlash, Slimcase addressed the issue in a video shared online.
He clarified that his act was out of respect for Burna Boy’s remarkable achievements in the music industry, emphasizing that age had no bearing on his show of honor. Slimcase highlighted Burna Boy’s impressive accolades, particularly his Grammy Award win, which cements his status as a global music icon.
The entertainer also dismissed speculation about his age, affirming in the video that he is 45 years old. In his caption, Slimcase noted that he would show the same respect to younger artists if they achieved similar milestones. He specifically mentioned Rema, saying that if the 24-year-old Calm Down crooner were to win a Grammy, he would greet him the same way.
Slimcase wrote: “This is how I salute the GRAMMYs. As young as Rema is, if he wins a Grammy, I’ll greet him the same way. #slimcaseshow.”
