Grammy-winning singer, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly called Burna Boy, has revealed that his song titled ‘Thanks’ was inspired by his grandmother.

‘Thanks’ is featured as one of the tracks on the artist’s seventh studio album, titled “I Told Them.”

In a post on his official X account on Sunday, December 17, the singer shared that he created the song due to his grandmother’s influence. He explained that she consistently urged him to come home but paradoxically insisted he leave whenever he visited.

Discussing his holiday plans for this year’s Yuletide season, Burna Boy informed his followers that he intends to spend December with his grandmother.

He posted: “My grandma used to be crying for me to come back home; now she’s on edge, every time I come back home and is already asking when I’m leaving.

“This is why I made ‘Thanks’. I’m rolling with only her this December for peace to reign.”
