He disclosed this while speaking with one of his followers.
Asked what I would have been doing if he hadn’t ended up as a singer, Burna Boy said: “There are many options, I could be stealing oil, I could be playing basket ball, I could be a fraudster, a suicide bomber, anything including a prostitute.”
The Grammy award winner became Africa’s artist with the most entries on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
