Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy has addressed a bizarre rumour about his unshaved armpits. In an interview with Apple Music, he dismissed claims that his success is linked to armpit hair through voodoo, describing them as “hilarious.”
Burna Boy explained that he simply chooses not to shave his armpits, dismissing the speculation as absurd.
He humorously likened the rumour to the biblical story of Samson, whose strength was said to come from his hair.
The interviewer asked: “What would you say is a common misconception about Burna Boy?”
Burna Boy replied: “One is that I don’t like to shave my armpits. People think that it is like Samson in the Bible that [has] his power in his hair.
“There are some people that claim that my armpit is where my power is because I don’t shave. In Nigeria you hear crazy things. There are some people that think that is some voodoo sh*t, like my power is in my armpits [laughs]. I don’t even know how to explain it. It’s just some dumb sh*t that’s going on. I even tried to find out if it’s even possible.”
