I’m not yet ready for kids, says Burna Boy
Superstar singer and Grammy Award winner, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu aka Burna Boy, says he is not ready to be a father yet.
Burna Boy revealed this on Wednesday, while responding to a curious fan, during an Instagram live session.
The 32-year-old said he was not ready to have kids yet because he could not give them the attention they deserve.
He further dismissed rumours that he doesn’t have the ability to father a child.
He said, “Why haven’t I had kids yet? Bro, because I don’t want to have kids yet. Have you seen my mum the way she loves me? Have you seen my dad the way he loves me? I know I can’t give that to anyone right now with the life I’m living.
“So until I’m settled and I can be there for my children everyday, I’m not having no kid. I feel like my kids deserve better than I got. And I got both my mum and dad so you understand?
“When I see the bants and the things people say [about me not being able to have kids], I said this is unimportant. Let’s assume that it is true that I couldn’t even have kids, you know that there’s something called IVF? But that is not even true.”
Burna Boy rose to stardom in 2012 after releasing “Like to Party”, the lead single from his debut studio album L.I.F.E (2013).
Popular Nollywood actor, Deyemi Okanlawon has narrated how his limited social media presence hindered his growth in the entertainment industry.
The Yoruba actor made this known in his latest interview on the Echoo Room Podcast.
Speaking about the challenges he encountered early in his acting career, Deyemi said he was constantly rejected by producers following his limited social media presence despite his talent.
“Not having Instagram followers hindered me. I would tell myself, ‘I’m the guy who comes to kill himself on set. Why am I being judged by the number of followers I have?
“I said to myself, there is no point fighting it. There’s always going to be a new set of people who focus more on the brand than the craft. So I said let me start some brand-building.”
YouTube Music Nights will present a special live concert featuring Burna Boy to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the singer’s critically acclaimed album, ‘African Giant‘.
The concert which is set for July 26, 2024, will be streamed live on Burna Boy’s YouTube channel, allowing fans all over the world to join the festivities.
Head of Music at YouTube in Africa, Addy Awofisayo in a post said; “We are thrilled to present Burna Boy on YouTube Music Nights, celebrating his 5th anniversary of the groundbreaking album, African Giant.”
Expressing his excitement in a post on his official page, Burna Boy said; “Celebrating the 5th anniversary of ‘African Giant’ with a special performance in London, supported by YouTube Music, has been an incredible experience.
“This album holds a special place in my heart as it represents a pivotal moment in my career and a powerful statement of African pride.”
Popular Nollywood actor and producer Kevin Ikeduba said he would rather die than cast unqualified actors in exchange for sex.
The movie producer, who stated this in an interview on Hip TV’s Trending, emphasised his commitment to professionalism.
Expressing his frustration with the high rate of unprofessionalism in the industry, Ikeduba stated: “The movie industry is very big. What works for A, may not work for B.
“Kevin that people know, would rather die instead of giving a girl a role for sex because I am very passionate about what I do. So most times, when I meet mediocre people on set, it hurts me. I will never ever do that.”
