Legit.ng recalled that Burna Boy recently bagged a BET nomination.
In a trending video, the singer revealed that while she admires the Afrobeats king, she knows her limits and what she truly brings to the table.
Uriel said:
“I can’t date Burna Boy, I will only want to cook for him because I don’t have the liver."
She explained that if she enters a relationship, she wants to be the only woman—no competition, no drama.
Uriel acknowledged Burna Boy’s current success and vibrant lifestyle but admitted she doesn’t want to be a distraction or weigh him down.
“He will make me cry. I can’t compete with other women like Chloe Bailey, Steff London. I’m just a simple person. The only thing I can offer him is home-cooked food.”
Looking ahead, Uriel shared her hopes of settling down within the next two years, but only when the timing and person are right.
