Burna Boy & Chris Martin Perform “Monsters You Made” at BET Hip Hop Awards 2020
- Nigerian singer-songwriter Burna Boy and Chris Martin of Coldplay performed “Monsters You Made” at the 2020 Hip Hop Awards.
Both artists released the song back in August from Burna Boy's fifth studio album “Twice as Tall”. The track interpolates Michael Jackson's ”Dirty Diana”, which is included on his 1987 album “Bad”.
Burna Boy told Apple Music of the song, “I think I started to write this over the lockdown when a lot was, and still is, happening. I think maybe I'd just watched some fucked-up shit and that was what switched up my mood. People need to understand what's actually happened in Rivers, which is my home state in Nigeria. It's like someone digging up under your house, taking what they want that may be valuable to them. But they've destroyed your home, and now it's unsafe and now it's no longer home to you again. The environmental situation has been going on for years and years and no one is helping, but then people will only hear about the pipe bombings or the kidnappings. They should understand that it's never just that one side to the story and that everything has a root cause.”
