Barcelona’s star defender Jules Kounde has spoken out about the craft of Nigerian afrobeats superstar Burna Boy.

The French international footballer, who once privately messaged Nigerian rapper Blaqbonez on Instagram, letting him know how much he liked his new album “Young Preacher.” is known to usually post Afrobeats songs on his social media page.

In a recent interview, when asked about the three songs he’s been listening to, Kounde mentioned Lil Baby’s “In a Minute,” Dave‘s “Starlight,” and then “Burna Boy”, implying that he doesn’t like a specific song from the singer but rather his craft in general. According to reports, in the interview, Kounde said:
