Burna Boy Makes U-Turn, Discusses When He Will Become Daddy: "He Wants to Join Wiz, OBO Club”

• Famous Nigerian singer Burna Boy admitted he’s getting older and now thinking seriously about having kids
• The singer had, in a 2023 interview, rejected the idea of having children due to lifestyle demands
• His admission prompted netizens to debate whether marriage or a baby would come first for the Grammy-winning hitmaker

Afro-fusion superstar and Grammy winner Burna Boy may soon be adding “Daddy” to his long list of titles.

The City Boys crooner, who turned 34 on Wednesday, July 3, shocked many fans during his birthday celebration in Lagos when he revealed that he is now seriously considering having children.

In a video from the star-studded event that has since gone viral, Burna Boy, real name Damini Ogulu, spoke candidly in pidgin about the thought process that led him to this new mindset.

“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,” he said, referring to a heart-to-heart with flamboyant oil magnate Jowizaza.

This revelation comes barely a year after Burna Boy publicly declared he was not ready to have children, stating that he didn’t want to bring kids into his world until he was ready to give them full attention.

Back in May 2023, he told fans that fatherhood was a no-go for now:

“I can’t have kids now and not be there for them. When I settle down or get married, then yes.”

However, with his recent birthday and conversation with Jowizaza sparking reflection, Burna Boy says he’s re-evaluating his priorities, and fans are here for it.
