Burna Boy, the multi-award winning Nigerian afrobeat star, has revealed that he recently turned down a $5 million deal to perform in Dubai, and his reasons will astound you.
Smoking is prohibited in parks, beaches, and other public recreation areas in Dubai under Emirati law.
According to the Grammy winner, he turned down the offer because smoking marijuana is illegal in the opulent city.

Burna Boy revealed this during a freestyle while rehearsing with his band, Outsiders, in a video that went viral on the social media platform, X.
