“Burna Boy is paid 3 to 4 million dollars for a single performance. If they pay me that for a show, that will certainly be my last show”.

This comes after the Afrobeats singer revealed that he earlier turned down a $5 million offer to perform in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

According to Burna, he rejected the deal because he would not have been allowed to smoke his favourite substance (weed) in the United Arab Emirates.

The self acclaimed African Giant made this known in a video that went viral on social media during a freestyle rehearsal with his band, Outsiders.

Emirati law prohibits smoking in parks, beaches and all public recreational areas in Dubai.

Recall Mr Jollof expressed shock that led him to conclude that Burna Boy has gone far.

The comedian cum show promoter said he and some investors reached out to Burna Boy’s team, offering N1.3 billion ($1m) performance fee but got rejected.

Mr Jollof added that the singer’s team rejected it on the grounds that it is below what the singer charges.
