The ‘Anybody’ hitmaker stated that today, he does not care about being the biggest artiste, adding he is just happy to pursue his career.

If you knew half the shit I used to do for money, risky my freedom daily you would way happier for me…Of course, I will perform with my injured leg or even legs or arm,” Burna Boy stated.

Burna Boy made these revelations while in a heated argument with some social media users on Twitter who reportedly sought to pit him against his colleagues Wizkid and Davido.

Meanwhile, it was reported years ago that Burna Boy was arrested alongside some gang members in 2010 in London after they were accused of allegedly stabbing an individual to death.

He was trialed as a minor and later sent to jail by the authorities. Burna Boy was reportedly in jail for 11 months with two months parole plus community service on the grounds of being of good behaviour.
