Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, known by his stage name Burna Boy, has set the record straight regarding his net worth.
The acclaimed artiste clarified this during a recent
interview with Complex, an American media outlet revealing that his financial
standing surpasses the widely circulated estimate of $22 million (₦17 billion).
During the conversation, the interviewer referred to a
Google search result stating his net worth as $22 million.
Burna Boy‘s response was lighthearted yet emphatic. He
chuckled and stated, “Hahaha. Let’s not talk about it. Well, I prefer they go
that way. That is cool. But it’s inaccurate. They are way off.”
While he chose not to divulge the exact figures, Burna Boy
conveyed that the reported amount falls short of reality.
This candid admission hints at the artist’s substantial
financial success beyond what the internet suggests.
Burna Boy also expressed gratitude for his ability to cater
to his family’s financial needs, reflecting on his childhood promise to provide
his mother with a house and a car.
He remarked, “It’s great, man. It’s a blessing. It’s nothing
short of a blessing. I always told my mum while growing up as a kid that I
would buy her a house and a car someday. Another ‘I Told Them’ moment.”
