Damini Ogulu Ebunoluwa, also known as Burna Boy, has cleared the air on rumors that he is impotent and unable to father children.
The musician also stated that he plans to have children after he has achieved stability, emphasizing that his future children deserve a better life than he had.
The 32-year-old musician revealed that he values the love he receives from his mother, Bose Ogulu, and his father.
The singer made the revelation during an Instagram live session where he responded to fans’ questions.
“Why I haven’t had kids yet because I don’t want to have kids. Like have you seen my operation, have you seen my mom the way she loves me and my dad the way he loves me but I know I can’t give that to anyone right now with the life I live. When I am settled, then I can be there for my children every single day and every minute.
“That’s just me, I feel like my kids deserve more than I got and I got both my mom and dad. I see the bants people put out there but it is not important. Let’s even say it’s true, let’s say I can’t have kids, know that there are some things called IVF and other scientific methods. You feel me but that’s not even true.”

Burna Boy Credits Industry Veterans
Grammy-winning Afrobeats star Burna Boy, known for his hit songs like “Last Last” and “African Giant,” recently took to Instagram Live to express his gratitude for the impact of veteran Nigerian musicians on his career.
In the live session, Burna Boy revealed a select group of artists he considers true industry veterans who significantly influenced him. These artists include Timaya, D’banj, 2Baba (formerly 2face Idibia), Larry Gaaga, and Wande Coal.
Burna Boy recounted a specific encounter with Timaya in 2012 or 2013, where witnessing the established artist’s success motivated him to strive for similar achievements. He also acknowledged D’banj’s generous support in financing the music video for his early hit “Wan Da Mo”.
“D’banj also supported me back then. These are two people I don’t joke with. It’s not like n*ggas don’t have respect, no, n*ggas have just been through a lot and we only remember the people we saw in the dark times.”
