Nigeria: I'm Not Yet Ready for Kids - Burna Boy

Superstar singer and Grammy Award winner, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu aka Burna Boy, says he is not ready to be a father yet.

Burna Boy revealed this on Wednesday, while responding to a curious fan, during an Instagram live session.

The 32-year-old said he is not ready to have kids yet because he can't give them the attention they deserve.

He further dismissed rumours that he doesn't have the ability to father a child.

He said, "Why haven't I had kids yet? Bro, because I don't want to have kids yet. Have you seen my mum the way she loves me? Have you seen my dad the way he loves me? I know I can't give that to anyone right now with the life I'm living.

"So until I'm settled and I can be there for my children everyday, I'm not having no kid. I feel like my kids deserve better than I got. And I got both my mum and dad so you understand?

"When I see the bants and the things people say [about me not being able to have kids], I said this is unimportant. Let's assume that it is true that I couldn't even have kids, you know that there's something called IVF? But that is not even true."

Burna Boy rose to stardom in 2012 after releasing "Like to Party", the lead single from his debut studio album L.I.F.E (2013).
