Burna Boy, born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, has a musical journey that truly stands a testament to stubborn determination and undeniable talent. His rise to international stardom is not a simple tale, but rather a compelling story of resilience, defiance, and genius.

His music – a unique blend of Afrobeat, Dancehall, Reggae, American Rap, and R&B – has captivated audiences across Africa, the UK, and the US. His distinct style, known as “Afro-fusion”, serves as a sonic journey through the African diaspora, while keeping its roots firmly in the pulse of his Nigerian heritage.

However, his journey to stardom was not without turbulence. Burna Boy was allegedly involved in a gang-related stabbing in 2010, leading to the death of an individual. He was reportedly tried as a minor and spent 11 months in jail, and then was put on two months parole for good behavior.
