My Success Story is Why I Never Count Young Nigerians Out – Burna Boy

Popular singer, Burna Boy has come out to boast about his wealth.

He recently revealed that he is now richer than most people he once looked up to, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he feels super grateful because he grew up in an era when only politicians, oil men and Yahoo boys were the ones really getting real money across the country.

Burna added that this is why he never counts young people out because they could be Elon Musk all of a sudden.

His words, “Imagine growing up and only politicians and oil men were the ones really getting REAL money followed by the G boys. Music was not even in the conversation when money was the Topic.

Now, an ugly black musician from Port Harcourt got more money than 90% of the people he looked up to as moneymakers.

This is why I never count any young people out, because they could be Elon Musk 2moro typing this same message.”

WOW.
