Popular Nigerian musician Burna Boy has finally spoken about some unusual rumors that have been spreading about him. Many people online have noticed that he sometimes appears with unshaved armpits, and some have gone as far as saying that this is connected to his success in music through juju or voodoo powers.
According to reports from GistLover, pictures of Burna Boy showing his unshaved armpits have been circulating for a while. This has caused lots of discussions among fans and critics, with some people creating wild stories about why he chooses not to shave.
In a recent interview with Apple Music, the Grammy-winning star laughed off these rumors. When asked about a common misunderstanding people have about him, Burna Boy explained that one of the strangest ones is the belief that his unshaved armpits are the source of his strength and success.
He compared it to the biblical story of Samson, who was said to have gained his power from his hair. Some Nigerians have suggested that Burna Boy’s power comes from his armpits, and that shaving them would make him lose it. Burna Boy found this idea very funny and completely untrue.
In his words, he said:“One rumor is that I don’t like to shave my armpits. Some people believe it’s like the story of Samson in the Bible, who had his power in his hair. They think my own power is in my armpits because I don’t shave them. In Nigeria, you hear all kinds of crazy things. Some people even think it’s juju, like my armpits are a source of magic. Honestly, I don’t even know how to explain it, it’s just nonsense. I even tried to check if such a thing is possible, but of course, it’s not.”
With laughter, Burna Boy made it clear that the whole story is just a baseless rumor and should not be taken seriously.
