Multiple award-winning Nigerian afrobeat star Burna Boy revealed that he recently turned down a $5 million deal to perform in Dubai. His reasons for turning down the offer may surprise you.
Emirati law forbids smoking in parks, beaches, and other public recreation areas in Dubai.
According to the Grammy award winner, he declined the offer because smoking marijuana is illegal in the luxurious city.

Burna Boy revealed during a video of his freestyle rehearsal with his band, Outsiders, that has been circulating on social media platform X.
