Music Review: Question by Burnaboy ft Don Jazzy

Question is a song by Nigerian Grammy Award winner, Burnaboy. He features the Mavin Record Label Boss, Don Jazzy.

What is the song Question by Burnaboy ft Don Jazzy all about?

The song “Question,” by Burnaboy ft Don Jazzy seems like a direct message to people who are nosey about their movements, activities, lifestyle, and relationship life, to try and mind their business.

These people according to the artists ask too many questions about things that do not concern them, and still do not get an answer. 

Burnaboy is also wishing people the same thing they wish him; either good or bad.

Meanwhile, in verse 2, Burnaboy takes a swipe at people, ladies in particular focusing on his cassava (D/Male organ) after taking a picture with them. He warns that such an act will only lead to s-x.
