This is a report by The NET claiming Burna Boy
has a criminal past, a period of his life he would rather not make public
knowledge. We are told on good authority that while in the UK back in 2010,
Burna Boy was arrested by London Police for allegedly being part of a gang and
stabbing someone to death. He was tried as a minor and sent to jail.
After 11 months, he was released and given two months parole plus community
service on the grounds of being of ‘good behaviour’. But Burna is said to have
disobeyed authorities and travelled back to Nigeria where he signed a record
deal with Aristokrat. He later travelled back to the UK but was arrested at the airport and deported
to Nigeria. He is currently barred from the UK for the next 15 years.
He is also having problems with his record label and we are told that problem ensued when his debut album
‘L.I.F.E’ dropped in August 2013. Burna Boy wasn’t pleased with the way the
label handled the marketing and release of the album. Contrary to reports
earlier published, Burna did NOT get a N10m upfront payment for the album. The
artiste feels the label should have done better – probably with a high budget
album launch, major campaign etc.
Burna has moved out of the
house provided for him by the label in Lekki Phase 1 and relocated to a house
in Chevron Estate also in Lekki, Lagos. He has extricated himself from them and
now handles his career with a former label employee who now only answers to him
(Burna).
