Popular Nigerian singer and Grammy awards winner, Burna Boy has disclosed in rhymns how he had turned down a $5 million offer to perform in a show in Dubai.
While making a freestyle rehearsal with his band, Outsiders, Burna Boy revealed that he rejected the deal because they could not allow him to smoke his weed in the United Arab Emirates.

“Just now I turned down Dubai money, 5 million dollars na small thing cos me I no dey like to dey go where dem no go gree allow me smoke igbo… Shey na till dem tell you,” he sang.
