Burna Boy on November 10 performed his upcoming single titled “Off Your Mic” at a concert in Stockholm, Sweden.

The “Odogwu” crooner teased his fans at the 17,000-seat arena with a snippet performance of his yet to be released single.

The song highlights challenges of corruption in the Nigerian government.

Instructively, the phrase “off your mic” was made popular among the Nigerian polity following a drama that ensued during a national assembly probe of the finances of the Niger Delta Development Commission, accused of massive sleaze and contracting fraud.

“Them talk say snake swallow money, snake way resemble human being, snake way deceive Adam and Eve , Off your mic!! Wahala! Wahala for who no bow for Nigeria o” he sang.

The artist is yet to confirm when “off your mic” from his next album titled “outsider” will be released.
