Grammy Award-winning Nigerian artist, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has opened up about a major shift in his personal outlook — he’s now considering becoming a father.
During his 34th birthday celebration in Lagos on Wednesday night, the Afro-fusion superstar reflected on his age and the idea of starting a family. In a candid moment with his guests, Burna Boy revealed that a recent conversation with oil magnate Jowizaza sparked the introspection.
“Na so Jowizaza follow me talk the last time, I come dey think about my life. Omo, I don dey old oh, I for begin born pikins,”
Burna Boy said in Pidgin.
This marks a significant change from his previous stance. In May 2023, Burna Boy had publicly stated that he wasn’t ready to have children, explaining that he didn’t want to bring them into the world without being able to give them his full attention.
At the time, the ‘Tatata’ crooner said he would only consider fatherhood when he felt emotionally and mentally settled — ideally within marriage or a stable relationship.
Now, it seems Burna Boy is embracing a new chapter. As fans continue to celebrate his music and global success, many are wondering if a mini-Odogwu might soon be on the way.
