KHAID Pours His Heart Out with Soulful Cover of Burna Boy’s “If I’m Lying”
Rising Afrobeats sensation KHAID is tugging at heartstrings with his emotional take on Burna Boy’s introspective track, “If I’m Lying.” Dropping the surprise cover on social media, KHAID delivered a stripped-down, soul-baring version that’s already gaining traction online — and for good reason.
With his signature smooth vocals and raw sincerity, KHAID doesn’t just sing the lyrics — he feels them. While Burna Boy’s original carried themes of struggle, honesty, and vulnerability, KHAID adds his own youthful edge, making it feel both familiar and refreshingly personal.
In the video clip shared by @hypetribeng, fans were quick to applaud the young artist for his vocal control, emotional depth, and clear respect for Burna’s artistry. It’s the kind of performance that doesn’t just showcase talent — it connects.
More than just a cover, this moment feels like a subtle torch-pass. KHAID is clearly inspired by Burna Boy, but he’s also showing he’s got what it takes to stand on his own. And while many young acts stick to the turn-up vibe, KHAID is choosing storytelling and substance — and that’s what’s really setting him apart.
If there’s one thing this cover proves, it’s that KHAID is here for the long haul.
