Burna Boy said, “One is that I don’t like to shave my armpits. People think it’s like Samson in the Bible, that [my] power is in my hair.
“Some people actually believe my armpit is where my power lies because I don’t shave. In Nigeria, you hear crazy things.
“They even say it’s voodoo or juju, like my power is in my armpits [laughs]. Honestly, I don’t even know how to explain it. I even tried to find out if it’s possible.”
The City Boys crooner emphasised that the rumour is baseless, stressing that such narratives only reflect how far people can go in spreading sensational claims.
