So Burna Boy coming out and saying the old version of him is dead is honestly dramatic, but he’s not actually dead or anything like that. He’s talking about leaving behind the way he used to be—like his old image or vibe. From what I picked up, he mentioned Nigerians kind of killed the old him by how they treated him or their support or whatever. That sounds kinda harsh but I get it—artists sometimes feel let down and want to make a point.

He’s been pretty vocal about changing up not just his music but also how he presents himself, like saying goodbye to the "African Giant" and bringing on this new version named "Big 7." It’s all about his own growth and moving forward, even if some people don’t like it. I’ve seen other artists do this too; it drum ups interest and makes fans wonder what’s next. So it’s not a diss to specific people or fans, it’s just Burna Boy announcing he’s leveling up, if you ask me.
