Burna Boy says he will quit making music because…
Afrobeats musician Burna Boy has expressed his frustration with the music industry, saying that he may have to leave due to low income.
In a post on his Instagram Stories, Burna wrote that he will have to “sit down and evaluate” his musical career in the coming months. If he doesn’t see any positive signs, he said, he may have to “give up.”
“With the figures that I see in this contract, these coming years of my musical career I think are about to show me if I really like to make music,” Burna wrote. “God probably really wants to test me if I like music.”
Burna also said that he may take a page out of Rihanna’s book and take a break from the music industry. “I may even bounce on y’all with a bang to all of you like Rihanna,” he added.
According to American magazines that closely monitor the movements of African artists, Burna has complained in the past that he is not making as much money from the distribution of his music as he would like. In 2022, he was reported to have earned $300 million, but his wealth has not increased in the past three years.
It is unclear what Burna Boy will do next, but his comments suggest that he is unhappy with his current situation in the music industry.
