According to Temi Otedola's husband, the line “Big man wey no dey wear agbada” from Burna Boy's 2018 'Ye' track stood out because it reflects a different kind of success and lifestyle.
Mr Eazi declared that the line reminds him of global billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who are known for dressing casually despite their wealth and influence.
He said:
"Big man wey no dey wear agbada. Do you know how deep that line is? Because if you are a big man in Lagos, you have to wear agbada."
Speaking further, the singer admitted that he intentionally avoids listening to too much of Burna Boy’s music because he fears it could affect his sound.
According to him, both share similar deep vocal tones, and spending too much time listening to Burna Boy could unconsciously influence the style of music he creates.
In his words:
“I don’t even like listening to Burna Boy because if I listen to so much, you will hear it in my music. So, I try to stay away from Burna because I have a low register as well in my voice.”
