I had no idea I would even live this long, came into the music industry straight from a UK prison – Burna Boy reveals

Nigerian superstar, Burna Boy has revealed that he didn’t think he would live this long as he came into the music industry straight from Chelmsford HMP, a UK prison.

Burna Boy in a now deleted tweet shared that he doesn’t care about being the biggest Nigerian artist as long as he is happy doing what he loves and can take care of his “people” from it. According to him, if people knew what he used to do in the past for money, they would all be happy for him.

He wrote in the now deleted tweets; “I came into the music industry straight from Chelmsford HMP. I had no idea I would even live this long.

“So when people talk about me now, it’s all just funny. Of course, I would perform with my injured leg, or even no legs or arms.

“Nigeria really doesn’t know meK . I don’t care to be the biggest Nigerian artist. I’m just happy I can do what I love and take care of my people from it.

“If you knew just half of the shit I used to do for money, risking my freedom daily, you would be way happier for me.”
