Burna Boy has explained why he won’t
be settling down or having a child with UK-born Jamaican artist, Stefflon Don
soon. In a recent chat with fans on Twitter, Burna Boy revealed some untold
details on his career as well as his girlfriend of 15 months.
On hardwork
I feel like working 1000000000000
times harder
· First performance
Calabar carnival 2010
· Growing up
It was beautiful and it was hell at
the same time but it showed me all the lessons I needed to learn to face the
world.
· Maintaining focus
I stay militant. They turned me into
this rebel militant I am today. And I’m glad they did.
· Music, Fela, and motivation
I started in 2010; I was motivated by
my talent, passion, family, Africa, and Fela. Twitter does not have enough
space for me to talk about the challenges. Just know that the challenges don’t
stop when you are on top, they get worse.
· Made money off social media
Lol. No. I’ve never gotten a dime
from social media o. If there was money in social media for me, I’ll live and
die on social media. But no money for here.
· Talent doubt
Yes. A few times actually but my
mindset has always been “I’d Rather Die than ever bend or Fold”
· Fame and freebies
I believe that free things always
come back to bite you in the ass. So I don’t like free stuff
· Stylist
My Sister Ronami Ogulu she’s the best
stylist in the world.
· Mum as manager
My mum is my manager because she is
the only person qualified to talk to me and she is the only living human being
that I truly 100% trust.
· Most challenging collaboration so
far?
Most challenging was Angelique Kidjo
because I looked for her since 2011 and only got to work with her in 2019.
· On Sampling other musicians songs
All the greatest in the world have
sampled things they love. And realistically I do it the least compared to them.
I challenge you or anyone to prove I’m not who I say I am.
· Losing Grammys
Sick. Totally Sick. But my musical
mother, Angelique Kidjo told me everything I needed to understand about the
Grammys. So now I’m “Twice as Tall” (that’s the name of my next album by the
way dropping in July by the grace of the Most High)
· Grammy loss reaction
If you do not speak your truth, the
lies will become your truth
· On marrying Stefflon Don, who was
described as being beautiful inside out
She really and truly is. People have
no idea what a queen I got.
· Favourite thing about being Burna Boy
My Family, my girlfriend, and Gang.
· On raising a family
I just want to be as good a parent to
my children as my parents were and still are to me and my sisters. Until I’m
confident that I can be stable and settle with the mother of my kids I can’t
have no kids
· Have you gotten the Artist for
#Odogwu remix
I want Phyno, Zoro, Illbliss and
Nigga RAW.
