Jamaica Has Always Been A Part Of Me - Burna Boy
Afrobeats star, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has revealed that he has always had a liking for Jamaica.
The Grammys award-winning star, revealed that during the course of his study in Brixton, United Kingdom, years ago, he was surrounded by Jamaicans and developed a deep connection with the Caribbean nation.
Burna Boy made the revelation during a recent interview with Capital Xtra London.
He said: “Jamaica has always been a part of me — from my dad playing Super Cat and stuff when I was a kid to me ending up in Brixton, when almost every Nigerian in the UK was either in school or in Peckham. I ended up in Brixton.
“So, I considered myself more Jamaican at the time simply for the fact that everyone around me was Jamaican and Caribbean. There were minimal Nigerians around me at that time. When I go back home to Nigeria, then I’m really a Nigerian. But when I was here, I’m Jamaican. Even the Africans that were my guys were not Nigerians. They were Gambians, Ugandans, and Congolese. There were only two Nigerians in my crew.”
