Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning musician from Nigeria who is also known as Damini Ogulu, has explained why he is not a political person by nature.
Burna Boy stated he rejected down excellent offers because he doesn’t want to become involved in politics or deceit on a podcast with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1.
The performer asserted that he has always taken a strong position and doesn’t think anyone is competent to play God.
Burna claims to have experienced all aspects of reality and would rather continue to making music than placing any hope in politics.
He said: “I’ve turned down things that even greater men than me could not turn down. Because I don’t want any involvement in politics and trickery. And I’ve always made my stance clear where all of that is concerned, so as you know, the reason for surprise.”
“It’s like drinking water. It’s natural for me. I can only speak for now because I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow as regards the world, and who may come into the picture.”
“I can’t say, but I can speak for today. As of today, I don’t believe that there’s anybody qualified enough to play God.”
“It is not something that I blame anyone for. Because at the end of the day, there is God. So that’s who we should be looking up to. Everything else is going to be flawed.”
“So for me, that is why I stick to music, and I don’t really… At this point, I feel like I’ve seen all there to see about the realities and everything”
