Awww... His past has come for him and it's unfortunate it's coming at the wrong time of his life. This is the story of Nigerian music artist, a port-Harcourt born musician known as Damini Ogulu, whose stage name is Burna Boy. He has been banned from entering the UK for the next 15 years for partaken in the killing of someone back in 2010. Burna Boy has been described by those who know him well as ‘Talented’ but ‘uncontrollable’.
Today has confirmed that Burna Boy will leave his record label Aristokrat Records at the end of 2013.
The dancehall star (real name Damini Ogulu) who signed with the record label in 2011 is looking at launching his own company at the start of 2014. Burna has made this clear with Aristokrat even though the news of his departure has not reached the public.
Burna Boy’s controversial tweet was deleted moments later has also confirmed the incidence
A few weeks ago, the dark-skinned Port Harcourt bred act hinted at leaving the label. ‘Change is about to happen. I know #BBG will stick with me no matter what. Watch out for future announcement. #BBG’. #BBG refers to his newly formed crew ‘Burna Boy Goons’. The tweet was deleted moments later.
Sources have linked him to a criminal past, a period of his life he would rather not make public knowledge. They allege that while in the UK back in 2010, Burna Boy was arrested by London Police for allegedly being part of a gang and stabbing someone to death. He was tried as a minor and sent to jail. After 11 months, he was released and given two months parole plus community service on the grounds of being of “good behaviour”. But Burna is said to have disobeyed authorities and travelled back to Nigeria where he signed a record deal with Aristokrat.
He later travelled back to the UK but was arrested at the airport and deported to Nigeria. He is currently barred from the UK for the next 15 years.
Little known Burna signed with Aristokrat in July 2011, released two mix tapes ‘Burn Notice’ and ‘Burn Identity’ in April and November 2011 respectively. He then went on to drop the mid-tempo hit record ‘Like to Party’ in mid-2012. With two other successful singles ‘Tonight’ and ‘Run my race’, Burna rose to fame, making a name for himself. This is a really sad news for his brand, I hope he gets his stand back in no time
