I lied in court rooms, police stations – Burna Boy

• In his unabashed quest to flex his unfiltered honesty, the Singer Burnaboy boldly proclaimed that the sole moment he strayed from the truth unfolded exclusively within the courtroom and under the scrutiny of the police station.
• The music maestro has had his fair share of encounters with handcuffs and found himself behind bars, having been apprehended once in Nigeria and confined in a UK prison on another occasion.

The Grammy-winning Nigerian artist, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, known as Burna Boy, has openly acknowledged making false statements in both courtrooms and police stations on numerous occasions.

The self-styled ‘African Giant’ admitted this while bragging about his blunt nature.

He said he never lies except in “courtrooms and police stations.”

On his Instagram story, Burna Boy wrote, “The only times I ever lied was in courtrooms and police stations.

“If you don’t like me, I don’t like you more than you don’t like me. You can’t win.”

Burna Boy is one of Nigeria’s most talented singers in Nigeria of his generation. No one questions his skills but the controversies and drama have robbed him of the accolades he deserves.

Burna Boy, in 2013, reportedly stabbed someone to death in London. He was tried as a minor and was sentenced to jail.

Eleven months later he was released on parole for two months with community service on the grounds of good behaviour. According to the reports, Burna travelled back to Nigeria thereby flouting his parole.

In 2015, Burna Boy grabbed the headlines for being involved in a fight with Zimbabwean dancehall star . The two squared off at a party organized by Da LES in South Africa.

2015 was one of his most controversial years. Within the same 12-month period, Burna Boy posted two pictures of him with a gun on Instagram. This was a week after he renewed his deal with telco giant GLO.

He wrapped up the year with a skirmish with a man in Lekki when his bodyguards allegedly beat him up following an accident. South African rapper, AKA was with Burna Boy when this incident happened late 2015.
