Nigerian Afrobeats musician Burna Boy said he was a stubborn boy from childhood and like destroying things at home which was the reason why his grandfather nickname him Burna Boy
According to him “so people think I am called Burna because of my love for Igbo. They are wrong! ”
He went further to explain the genesis of the name, ” At 6, I almost got my family house in Port Harcourt burnt down with a lighter while playing in the kitchen!
Hahahaha, everyone got frightened as the gas caught fire but luckily my mum was around to put it off with the extinguisher.
From that day, my grandfather started calling me Burna Boy and today it became my sta
ge name!
