- Getting him up in the morning
is the hardest thing to do.
- This is Burna Boy in Lagos, Nigeria.
You're spending 24 hours with me, today.
[upbeat music]
I'm a busy man today.
I have to basically get groomed, photo shoot,
the album's coming out so I have to do a bunch of press,
that's how it goes. [laughs]
It's a lot of pictures and a lot of talking.
Then, I have to fly to London
to promote my new album, Twice As Tall
and I have to shoot Jimmy Fallon as soon as I land,
so yeah man, it's a long day man, enjoy. [laughs]
This is Burna Boy's Space Puffs, morning ting.
From 2018, you know, vintage.
I drink warm water because I eat meat sometimes,
so you have to balance.
I'll typically have a shower, feel fresh.
Get cleaned up for the day.
I'm still in yesterday right now,
so when I come out of here, I'll be in today.
I use soap and face wash, that's all.
[upbeat music]
This is my mirror right now.
About to go to the shoot, so you'll see those too.
I've been in Nigeria for the last five months,
it's been the only time I've been able to be at home
for the past three years.
It's the time for me to reflect and train my body
and mind and just make the best of it, really.
Every disappointment is a blessing, you know.
This is the vinyl room,
basically my favorite space, this is where I come to
visit legend Bob Marley, legend Krissy Coitier.
My granddad, that's him right there.
This is kind of like a family wall,
this is my granddad with Ella.
This is my grandma.
This is my grandma's dad and this is my mom, Ala Kuti.
We're off to the first shoot now
and I'm about to pick out jew.

[energetic music]
This is an album that is really for me
and for everyone, everywhere in the world.
It's like a bridge that connects all of us
and at the same time, it's an album
that if you listen to it,
you know me more on a personal level.
It's definitely gonna be one of my best ones.
It's befitting that I'm coming from South Africa.
It's good.
- [Producer 1] That makes me happy.
- [Producer 2] Yes, sir!
- I have to go to London to promote the album, obviously.
Make sure that greatness is achieved
but at the same time, I have to shoot Jimmy Fallon tonight
as soon as I land.
- It's your safety. - That's my dawg.
- You already know, we out here!
[upbeat music]
- This album is basically the sequel to the last one.
It represents a time in my life and in everyone's life
that has now been immortalized by this album.
Talking about the fact that, everything that has happened
this year, the fact that we all have to slow down
and realize what is really going on.
The fact that black people around the world
are starting to wake up, for real, for real.
The fact that there's a lot going on right now
that people seem a bit blind to
and it's time to really understand your surroundings
and what's really going in the world, you know?
[cheering and applause]
You also have popcorn eh?
- You want some popcorn? - Yeah.
We got popcorn. - We got the popcorn.
- We got popcorn.
This the cinema, you understand,
about to catch a movie, [beep] we don't go to the movies,
we come to the movies.
As we prepare for this movie right here man,
keeping it gangster.
I feel like I'm the first [beep] in the movie theater.
Just waiting for the movies to start.
It's been a long day, currently in my cinema,
catching up on [inaudible 05:26:02].
You know, bless up, got my bag of Skittles. [laughs]
Love.
This morning I'm in London.
I'm tired, 'cause I haven't really slept.
It was a long day, did the Jimmy Fallon recording,
did everything I had to do and now I'm just tired. [laughs]
That was my very long day
and I hope you guys enjoyed it,
now I'm gonna go try and get some rest
before I continue the journey and the mission.
Blessings, love.
