Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy has revealed his desire to start a family, admitting that age is beginning to catch up with him and he no longer wants to postpone fatherhood.
E247MAG reports that the Grammy-winning artist made the personal disclosure during a recent Instagram Live session, where he addressed fan questions with his usual candor.
Responding to a fan who urged him to have children, Burna Boy acknowledged that the idea has been on his mind. “I feel like I’m getting too old,” he said, adding that he’s finally reaching a point in life where he feels ready to take on the responsibilities of parenthood. The 33-year-old artist, whose real name is Damini Ogulu, has often kept his personal life out of the public eye, but his comments signal a shift in priorities and perhaps a new chapter in his journey.
He emphasized that one of the main reasons he hasn’t yet had children is his desire to be a constant and committed presence in their lives. Burna Boy stated that he never wanted to be an absentee father, especially given the demanding nature of his global music career, which has kept him on the road for most of the past decade. “I just always wanted to be stable first—like really stable,” he said.
His statement has sparked widespread conversation among fans and followers, many of whom praised his honesty and sense of responsibility. Social media was abuzz with reactions, as users expressed both surprise and support for the artist’s openness and apparent shift toward settling down.
Burna Boy has enjoyed massive international success, headlining global music festivals and collaborating with some of the biggest names in the industry. Despite his fame and fortune, the Afro-fusion singer has made it clear that personal growth and family are becoming increasingly important to him.
As E247MAG continues to monitor updates from Nigeria’s music scene, Burna Boy’s remarks mark a notable evolution in both his personal outlook and public persona. Whether or not fatherhood comes soon, it’s clear the artist is contemplating his legacy not just as a musician, but as a future parent.
