Popular Nigerian singer and superstar, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, fondly known with his stage name, Burna Boy, has revealed that he came into the music industry straight from Chelmsford HMP prison in the UK  and had no idea his music will go far and his relevance in the music industry will last this long.

 

The 31-year old Burna in his “now deleted tweet”, added that he doesn’t care about being the biggest Nigerian artist since he’s happy doing what he loves and can take care of his “people” from it. Despite claiming sometime ago that he is the higest paid African entertainer of all time, Burna Boy also said that if people knew what he used to do in the past for money, they would all be happy for him. His tweet reads;

 

 

“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 me. 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.”
