“I’m Getting Older”: Burna Boy Hints at Starting a Family After Birthday Reflection

Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has revealed he is now considering fatherhood, marking a possible shift in his personal life priorities.

During an intimate celebration of his 34th birthday in Lagos on Wednesday night, the Afro-fusion icon shared his reflections on growing older and the prospect of raising children.

Speaking candidly, Burna Boy said the idea was sparked after a recent conversation with Nigerian billionaire oil mogul, Jowizaza. The discussion, according to the singer, prompted some deep self-reflection about his future.

“Jowizaza and I were talking, and it got me thinking about life,” he said. “I’m getting older… maybe it’s time I start having kids.”

This marks a notable change in stance for the Tatata crooner, who had previously disclosed in May 2024 that he wasn’t ready for parenthood. At the time, Burna Boy stated he wouldn’t want to bring children into the world unless he was fully prepared to give them the attention and stability they deserve.

“I want to be settled and possibly married before I bring children into the picture,” he said in that earlier interview.

Known for his powerful music and global influence, Burna Boy’s evolving views on family and legacy now offer fans a more personal glimpse into his off-stage mindset as he navigates life and fame in his mid-thirties.

Whether this newfound perspective will translate into real-life fatherhood soon remains to be seen, but for now, it’s clear the African Giant is beginning to think beyond the spotlight.
