Nigerian music sensation and Grammy winner, Burna Boy, has laughed off persistent rumours that his unshaven armpits are a source of mystical powers. In a recent interview with Apple Music, the singer labelled the speculation as both “crazy” and “hilarious.”
When asked about common misconceptions about himself, Burna Boy replied:
“One is that I don’t like to shave my armpits. People think it is like Samson in the Bible… that my armpit is where my power is because I don’t shave.
“In Nigeria you hear crazy things… some people think that is some voodoo shit, like my power is in my armpits. I don’t even know how to explain it. It’s just some dumb shit that’s going on. I even tried to find out if it’s even possible.”
Photos of Burna Boy proudly displaying his unshaved underarms have often gone viral, sparking even more curiosity among fans and critics. The musician’s candid response underscores not only his sense of humor but also his willingness to calmly address and dismiss quirky superstitions surrounding his personal styling choices.
