October 26, 2021 Burna Boy: I Told My Mum I’m Never Getting Married

Burna Boy: I Told My Mum I’m Never Getting Married

Grammy award winner, Damini Ogulu, popularly referred to as Burna Boy, has said that he usually tells his mother that he will never get married.

Writing on his Instagram story, Burna Boy said that whenever he tells his mum about never getting married, she ‘turns’ red.

According to the Ye crooner, his mother, Bose Ogulu, who acts as his manager, hates it when he mentions that he’ll never get married.

However, the singer also revealed his uncertainty about his comments to his mum.

He wrote, “My mum hates it so much when I tell her I’m never getting married. She turns red!!

“My own issue is that now, I’m not too sure if I really mean it or I just say it to piss her off.”

Burna Boy had in 2019 declared his love for Stefflon, a British rapper and singer, stressing that their affair was not a publicity stunt and that it meant so much to them.

He had said, “It’s not the business part of us; it’s our life. I’m trying to make it right because I don’t want to bring a kid into this life for anyone to be disturbing, looking or wondering what’s Stefflon Don and Burna Boy’s kid doing. I want to raise a kid the way I was raised.”

In March same year, the singer had revealed that Stefflon was not just his girlfriend but ‘wifey’, in an interview.

However, the breakup reports started in August 2019 and the duo had been on-and-off ever since .

 

October 14, 2021 Burna Boy Says Hypocrisy Is The Reason Marijuana Has Not Been Legalised in Nigeria

Burna Boy Says Hypocrisy Is The Reason Marijuana Has Not Been Legalised in Nigeria

Nigerian music star Burna Boy has opined that hypocrisy is why marijuana has not been legalised in Nigeria.

Burna Boys says everyone smokes weed in Nigeria.

Marijuana (also called weed, skunk or Igbo) is still illegal in Nigeria, although it hasn't stopped its widespread use.

A 2018 report by the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime (UNODC) revealed marijuana to be the most consumed 'drug' in Nigeria, being consumed by an estimated 10.8% of the population.

During a conversation about it in an interview with Home Grown Radio in Los Angeles, Burna Boy said he believes that hypocrisy is the reason it has not been legalised in Nigeria.

"It's not a zero tolerance. It's like everybody does it, but no one wants to be the one that is seen with it. It's just kind of hypocritical out there. Everybody smokes weed," Burna Boy said.

The Grammy award-winning singer also said that misconception around the drug is another reason why it has not been legalised.

"It's like some dumb shit, bro. You know those old shit when they talk about it frying your brains. They try to make it seem like if you smoke it, you will go mad," the singer said.

"Right now, everybody is relaxed, everybody does it, and everybody knows that. It's just a topic no one wants to talk about.

"No one wants to talk about it; everybody is cool. Nobody wants to make it a thing."

Asked if people get arrested for possession of marijuana in Nigeria, the 30-year-old singer says it depends on who you are.

"If you can please the person that is stopping you at a time," he added.

Burna Boy, in the interview, also said he likes coming to Los Angeles because weed is free in the state and that the best one he has had was in the city.
