Nigerian musician, Burna Boy, has revealed that American R&B star, Toni Braxton owns 60% of the streaming royalties gained from his hit song ‘Last Last’.
According to him, this is because he sampled her 22-year-old single ‘He Wasn’t Man Enough’ on his song.
Speaking on a podcast, he explained that he had always wanted to use that sample and hence took the opportunity when it presented itself.
