Nigerian music sensation, Burna Boy, has revealed that his passion for football was stronger than music in his early years. The Grammy award-winning artist made this disclosure during an interview with Julie Adenuga, a popular British media personality.
Despite being a talented goalkeeper, Burna Boy eventually gave up his football dreams to pursue a career in music. According to him, he felt unimportant and dispensable while playing as a goalkeeper, which made him reconsider his options.
Burna Boy stated, “I love football. I was good at playing football but the wickedest thing was that I was good at goalkeeping. That’s why I just stopped because [goalkeeping] was dead. I didn’t feel so important. I just didn’t feel like I was needed like that. I felt like without me the team will still be alright. I don’t want to spend my life like that.”
