Afrobeats superstar, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has shared a common misconception about himself that he finds hilarious.
The singer addressed claims that he avoids shaving his armpits because the source of his success lies there through voodoo.
Naijaonpoint reports that photos of Burna Boy showing his unshaved armpits have, on several occasions, sparked reactions.
However, speaking in a recent interview with Apple Music, the Grammy-winning star described such claims as hilarious.
He explained that he simply does not enjoy shaving his armpit.
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.”
