In a recent interview with BBC Radio 1Xtra, the ‘Odogwu’ crooner opened up about his deep passion for music, saying it's more than just a profession—it’s his lifestyle.
“I love what I do,” Burna said. “I don’t even see it as a job. It’s literally my life. So, why would I need a vacation from life?”
The Afrofusion icon explained that unlike physically demanding professions like bricklaying or manual labor, music brings him joy and fulfillment, making the idea of taking a break unnecessary—at least for now.
“It’s not like I’m a bricklayer or a labourer. That’s the kind of work you take vacations from. But when you’re Burna Boy, your job is a lifestyle. It’s what I would choose to do even if I wasn’t getting paid for it,” he said.
He added that unless he gets older or has a child, he doesn’t see any reason to step away from music. “I don’t even have a kid yet. There’s nothing I’m taking a vacation for,” he concluded.
