Nigerian music star, Burna Boy, has stated that he came into Nigeria’s music industry straight out of UK prison.
In now-deleted tweets, the Grammy-winning music star spoke of his troubled past.
The ‘Ye’ crooner said he doesn’t care about being “named Nigeria’s biggest music star” as much as people think but “Nigeria really doesn’t know me”.
Burna Boy also revealed that he made his way into music after a brush with UK law enforcement.
“I came into the music industry straight from Chelmsford HMP. I had no idea I would even live this long,” he said.
“So when people talk about me now, it’s all just funny. Of course, I would perform with my injured leg, or even no legs or arms.
“Nigeria really doesn’t know me. I don’t care to be the biggest Nigerian artist. I’m just happy I can do what I love and take care of my people from it.
“If you knew just half of the shit I used to do for money, risking my freedom daily, you would be way happier for me.”
