Recent actions and statements by popular Afrobeats artist Damini Ogulu, famously known as Burna Boy, suggest he's giving more serious thought to marriage and starting a family.
A $2 Million Statement
Burna Boy recently sparked a buzz after a video surfaced online showing him flashing a $2 million luxury ring on his "wedding finger."
The Grammy winner explicitly stated that this ring is a testament to his worth and that any woman aspiring to marry him must be prepared to match or exceed that value.
He declared, “Show me one female that would have put this ring on my finger. This is what my marriage is worth. If you want to marry me, you’re bringing the ring because I already gave myself a ring.
It is $2m, so you have to beat it before I love you and we can have children.”
This bold statement highlights his expectation for a partner to demonstrate significant financial capacity and intentionality.
Shifting Perspectives on Fatherhood
While Burna Boy has always been vocal about his desire to build a family, his recent comments indicate a more immediate consideration of fatherhood.
During his birthday celebration on July 2, 2025, he playfully hinted at becoming a dad, saying, “Na so Jowizaza follow me talk the last time, I come dey think my life. I don dey old oh, I for begin born pikin.”
This recent sentiment marks a notable shift from his previous stance.
In a 2024 livestream, he explained his reason for not having children was his inability to provide them with the same level of love and presence he received from his parents.
He stated, “I don’t want to have kids yet. Have you seen my mum and dad, the way they love me? I can’t give that to anyone right now with the life I’m living.”
Similarly, in a March 31, 2020, tweet, Burna Boy expressed a desire to be as good a parent as his own parents were to him and his sisters, adding that he wouldn't have kids until he was confident he could be stable and settle down with the mother of his children.
His current remarks suggest a potential change in his lifestyle or readiness to embrace the responsibilities of fatherhood, indicating a more serious commitment to settling down.
