“There are many options. I could be stealing oil, I could be playing basketball, I could be a fraudster, a suic*de bomber, anything, including a prostitute.”
Burna Boy speaks on family
Beyond his career, Legit.ng earlier reported that Burna Boy spoke about when he will be settling down to start a family.
In a recent interview, the music star revealed why fans shouldn’t expect him to start a family anytime soon.
This was a sharp contrast to an earlier statement he made during his recent 34th birthday celebration.
When asked directly if he was thinking of starting a family soon, the 34-year-old paused, then answered with refreshing honesty.
The ‘Last Last’ crooner hinted that the kind of family life he envisions can’t be built in hotel rooms or tour buses. For Burna, it seems, fatherhood is a full-time job—one he’s not ready to mix with the chaos of global stages just yet.
