Burna Boy, aka Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, a Grammy award winner, has shared his perspective on life.
Burna Boy took to Instagram Stories to express his feelings about life, questioning whether anything really mattered. He believes that everyone is living in a computer simulation video game.
He wrote: Sometimes I feel like we are all just living in some type of video game or computer simulation. Is there anything that truly matters?
Burna Boy previously revealed the type of life he led before entering the Nigerian music industry.
According to the self-proclaimed African giant, he doesn't care about being the biggest Nigerian artiste; he's just happy to be doing what he loves and being able to provide for his people.
He continued by saying that many people would be happier for him if they knew half of the things he has gone through, risking his life to make money.
Burna revealed in another deleted tweet that he came straight into the music industry from Chelmsford prison in the UK and had no idea he would live long enough until now.
"Nigeria really doesn't know who I am," he wrote. I'm not interested in being the most famous Nigerian artist. I'm just glad I can do what I enjoy and provide for my family. If you knew how grateful I was for the shit I used to do for money on a daily basis, you'd be much happier for me. I got my start in the music industry right out of Chelmsford HMP. I never imagined I'd live this long. So now it's all just amusing when people talk about me. Of course, I'd perform with my injured leg, or even without legs or arms," she says.
