CurrentReport Blog Afrobeat superstar Burna Boy recently shared a bold statement about his wealth, revealing that he now surpasses many Nigerian politicians and oil tycoons in financial success. Known for his Grammy-winning music and outspoken personality, the singer took to his Instagram story on Saturday to share his reflections on his financial journey.
In his post, Burna Boy advised his followers not to underestimate those younger than them, stating that the world is full of unexpected success stories. Recalling his own journey, he wrote, “Imagine growing up and only oil men and politicians were the ones really getting the real money followed by the G boys. Music wasn’t even in the conversation when money was the topic.”
Now, as one of Nigeria’s most successful musicians, Burna Boy has proven that wealth can come from any avenue. He emphasized his rise from humble beginnings in Port Harcourt, noting that even those dismissed as unlikely to succeed can surpass expectations. “Now an ugly black musician from Port Harcourt got more money than 90% of the people he looked up to as money makers,” he continued.
Encouraging his fans not to look down on anyone, Burna Boy urged them to keep an open mind, as anyone could become “tomorrow’s Elon Musk.”
