Burna Boy’s real name is Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu and he first gained public recognition in 2012 after releasing his hit single Like to Party, which became the lead single of his debut album, L.I.F.E. His other popular songs include Last Last, Tonight and Run My Race.
Burna Boy is one of the most successful Nigerian musicians of all time. With his fusion of Dancehall, Reggae, Afrobeat, and Pop, he has won numerous awards and accolades, including a Grammy Award in 2021. He is currently signed to an American record label called Atlantic Records. He is also the founder and CEO of Spaceship Records, a Nigerian-based record label.
The popular singer was born in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria and describes his music as Afro-fusion, which blends the genres of R&B, hip-hop, dancehall, and reggae.
Burna Boy started creating music at just ten years old using FruityLoops, a production software that his fellow classmate gave him. The singer launched his music career in 2010 and released his first record Shobeedo in 2011. On 12th August 2013, he released his debut studio album, L.I.F.E, under the Aristokrat record label. The album featured hit singles like, Like to Party and Tonight. The album gained Burna Boy immense popularity in Nigeria, and it was nominated for Best Album of the Year at the 2014 Nigeria Entertainment Awards. It also peaked at number seven on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart in August 2013.
Burna Boy has since released other songs and albums, including On a Spaceship and outside. He has also collaborated with some of the most prominent and influential artists in the Nigerian music industry, such as Reminisce, Wizkid, Timaya, and Olamide.
The Nigerian singer has an alleged net worth of $17 million. His wealth is attributed to his music career, endorsements, and investments. The Grammy award-winning singer is currently presumed single.
The musician has, however, been in a romantic relationship with Stefflon Don, a British singer, and songwriter. The two began dating in 2018 and broke up in 2022. The rapper has also been romantically linked with Princess Shyngle and Jo Pearl.
