A common theme in Burna Boy ‘s discography is his expert lifting of R&B, rap and pop records over the years — with a couple of oldies but goodies. The Afro-fusion superstar also notably sampled Toni Braxton ‘s hit “He Wasn’t Man Enough” on his 2022 summer smash “Last Last.” Rodney “Darkchild” Jenkins, Fred Jerkins III and LaShawn Daniels all earned credits on “Sittin’ on Top of the World” and “Last Last” since they co-wrote both “Top of the World” and “He Wasn’t Man Enough.” “Collateral Damage,” from Burna’s 2019 album African Giant also lifts from “Jamboree.” While Burna’s “Naughty by Nature” bore a lot of similarities to “Jamboree,” from its buoyant melody to “jam(boree) for me” chorus line, “Collateral Damage” borrows the groovy guitar line from Naughty by Nature’s anthem.
