American-Nigerian rapper Wale has joined the chorus of praise for Burna Boy’s 2022 smash hit, Last Last, calling it “one of the greatest songs ever written.”
A bold statement from a lyricist known for his deep appreciation of music, but one that reflects the undeniable cultural impact of the track.
A standout single from Burna Boy’s Grammy-nominated album Love, Damini, Last Last is more than just an Afrobeats anthem—it’s a fusion of pain and rhythm, seamlessly blending Afrobeats, UK Garage, and Dancehall influences. The song’s raw emotion and universal theme of heartbreak struck a chord with fans worldwide, with its famous line, “Everybody go chop breakfast,” becoming a pop culture reference for inevitable heartbreak.
Speculation ran wild upon its release, with many linking its deeply personal lyrics to Burna Boy’s past relationship with British rapper Stefflon Don. But beyond the gossip, Last Last became a global sensation, dominating airwaves, spending weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, and earning an RIAA platinum certification.
Wale’s endorsement only adds to the song’s growing legacy, cementing Last Last as more than just a breakup anthem—it’s a cultural moment that continues to resonate with audiences across the world.
