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.

As the weed smoking was a deal breaker, TopNaija gathered that the Emirati law prohibits smoking in parks, beaches and all public recreational areas in Dubai.

“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.
