March 26, (THEWILL) – Grammy award winning artiste, Damini Ogulu, professionally known as Burna Boy, says he is the highest paid artiste in Africa.
He was reflecting on his career strides and love for music in a series of posts via his Twitter handle on Saturday.
He said he has already achieved all the dreams he had, his wish is now to live and die on stage.
He added that nothing including money can give him satisfaction anymore except being on stage with his band “The Outsiders.”
“At this point, I just want to live and die on stage with my band, The Outsiders. I’ve achieved all the dreams I ever personally had. Money gives me no satisfaction. Nothing really does, except being on stage with my God sent band.”
He lamented dealing with industry politics. He said he wished people could simply enjoy him and watch him perform without resorting to politics.
“I thank God and the world for giving me this. I just wish the world would leave me out of politics and just let/watch me on stage till I die. The only time my heart feels genuine peace is on stage and that’s where I want to live and die.
“I said money does not satisfy me and it’s my truth, but it doesn’t change the fact that I’m the biggest paid artiste in the history of African music. Believe it or not.”
