Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, professionally known as Burna Boy, has recently revealed that he is contemplating taking a break from music.
The talented artist shared his sentiment on his Instagram story, stating that he is considering this decision due to a lucrative contract offer he recently received.
Burna Boy drew inspiration from the renowned singer Rihanna, who took a sabbatical from her music career.
According to Burna Boy, the substantial contract he has been presented with is not only a financial opportunity but also a test of his passion for music.
He expressed, ‘With the numbers I’m seeing on this contract, these next years of my life are about to really show if I really love doing music. God must really want to test my love for music. I just might bounce on y’all like Rihanna.’
This news comes shortly after Burna Boy expressed his frustration with the lack of appreciation he receives from his fellow Nigerians.
Despite his significant contributions to the music industry and bringing pride to his country, he believes that there is a lack of love and support from his own people. In his song ‘Thanks,’ featured in his latest album ‘I Told Them,’ he addresses this issue.
Burna Boy also took the opportunity to address some of the rumors surrounding his personal life.
He debunked the speculation that his mother was one of the dancers for the late Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Kuti.
Additionally, he clarified that he does not have a baby mama like many of his colleagues.
It remains to be seen whether Burna Boy will indeed take a break from music.
