Diddy said: “This is the most important black project you got. Black men and women working together as one to make sure that the best ideas get heard.”
Burna Boy says the album speaks to his soul.
“We come from a hard place man, we come from a place where people don’t really make it out and there’s no one to represent the truth of who we are.”

Let it be on record that Wizkid helped Drake and then Beyoncé ‘s careers. Davido put Chris Brown on the map and Burna Boy gave Diddy an opportunity to showcase his talent as a back-up singer on his #TwiceAsTall album. We rise by lifting others. ???????????????? pic.twitter.com/0nG2fhzgYj

I spent the last 1 hour 7 minutes of my life listening to Burna Boys #TWICEASTALL album. No regrets though. I didn’t plan to take any personal and professional development course with that time☺️
