Nigerian superstar Burna Boy has pledged to pay the funeral expenses of the four young victims Killed in the recent mass shooting at a children’s birthday party in Stockton, California.

The victims, aged between 8 and 21, were fataly shot on Saturday, November 29, at Monkey Space, a banquet hall in unincorporated San Joaquin County.

Eleven others were wounded in what authorities believe was a targeted attack.

In a statement shared with the Stockton Record, Burna Boy said he first learned of the tragedy while listening to “The Breakfast Club” radio show.

“When I heard about the children murdered in Stockton, my heart broke,” he said.

“No family should ever face this kind of pain alone. I wanted to do whatever I could to support these parents as they begin the long process of healing.”

After contacting industry executive Wack 100, Burna Boy was connected with Stockton Vice Mayor Jason Lee, who confirmed the artist’s intention to support the affected families.

The Grammy winner was particularly touched by the story of 14-year-old Amari Peterson, one of the four killed.

A GoFundMe page created for the teen described him as an active football and basketball player who had begun planning for college.

Vice Mayor Lee thanked Burna Boy for extending help to families he has never met, saying his generosity should inspire others to support the grieving community.

As of Tuesday, December 2, no arrests have been made. The incident has drawn national attention, adding to ongoing conversations about g¥n violence in the United States.

Burna Boy’s gesture comes amid public scrutiny following a viral moment in which he paused a Colorado performance to call out a couple who appeared to be asleep in the front row.

How about those killed by bandits here?

You cannot cry more than the bereaved. You'll have to remove the logs in your own eyes first before doing that to another person.

Hundreds of Children have been killed in your home country by criminal elements.
Millions are out of school and roaming the streets. What have you done for them.

Charity begins at home buddy.
