Burna and 2kay once made music in the South-South of Nigeria. Burna Boy and Mr 2kay are dominating the headlines due to the ongoing robbery case. But the connection between both stars didn’t start with this issue. It began in Port Harcourt.Before the lights and cameras that Lagos afforded, the city of Port Harcourt hosted both stars at the start of their careers. Burna Boy and Mr 2kay share affiliations that run deeper than the music industry in Lagos. Port Harcourt was once the home of these stars where they made music and enjoyed relative success as musicians. Mr 2kay was a bigger artist. An indigene born David Abiye, Mr 2kay’s roots run deep into the ghetto of Port Harcourt. You know how Lagos artists such as Olamide and Reminisce keep screaming that they are from the ‘streets’? Well, 2kay is from the street too.He grew up with his single mother and the family survived by hawking food with the young Mr 2kay also assisting his mum.
