The Grammy winner candidly reflects on the drastically different—and dangerous—paths his life could have taken growing up in Port Harcourt.
In a moment of raw honesty, global music icon Burna Boy left fans stunned after revealing what his life might have looked like if he hadn’t pursued music.
During a casual exchange with a fan, the Nigerian superstar—known for hits like “Last Last” and his electrifying stage presence—shared a sobering glimpse into the alternatives he faced growing up in Port Harcourt. With his characteristic blend of candor and wit, Burna Boy listed possibilities ranging from sports to crime—including oil theft, fraud, and even more extreme and dangerous paths.
“There are many options,” he mused. “I could be stealing oil, I could be playing basketball, I could be a fraudster, a suicide bomber, anything—including a prostitute.”
The comment quickly ignited conversation across social media, with listeners divided over whether the artist was using dark humor to make a point about his environment or speaking earnestly about the limited opportunities that often face young people in certain communities.
Regardless of interpretation, the moment offered a powerful reminder of how music served not just as a career, but as a lifeline for the self-proclaimed African Giant—and perhaps for many of his fans as well.
