I’m Not Prepared To Begin A Family – Burna Boy

(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Burna Boy, the Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, has opened up about the challenge stopping him from settling down and starting a family. 

Burna Boy stated this in a recent interview on The Official UK Afrobeats Chart Show, where he admitted that although having a family is his “main goal,” his demanding career makes it difficult at the moment.

He emphasised his desire to be a hands-on father, just like his own dad, and hopes to begin that chapter of his life when he can step away from music for a while.

“Having a family is my main goal, but it’s not achievable for me right now because I don’t want to do it while constantly on the road,” he said.

“It’s something I want to pursue when I can take a break from music, but I’m not at that point yet, where I can take, say, four years off and be present, go to my children’s school, and do the kind of things my father did for me.

“Until I’m sure I can do those things. My father wasn’t rich, but he was there. Now imagine my kids saying, ‘He was rich, but he wasn’t around.’ I want to give better than I got.”

The 34-year-old singer is from a close-knit family of five, including his two siblings, Nissi and Romani.

His mother, Bose Ogulu is his manager and Romani serves as the creative director and leads operations at his label Spaceship Collective.
