“I’m Ready Now” — Burna Boy Opens Up About Fatherhood Plans
At 34, Burna Boy is signaling a major shift in his personal life. The self acclaimed African Giant, born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, was once vocal about delaying parenthood. But now, he now says it’s time to start considering becoming a father. This revelation was made during his 34th birthday celebration on July 2, 2025, a highly significant change from his initial position about fatherhood just over a year ago.
During his birthday toast, Burna Boy touched on the conversation he previously had with fans. He said, “Na so jowizaza follow me talk the last time, i come dey think about my life. I don dey old oh, I for begin born pikin.” This is a turnaround from his May 2024 Instagram Live session, where he explained that he wasn’t ready to have children due to his demanding lifestyle and desire to provide undivided attention. He emphasized that he wanted to replicate the level of parental love he received before taking on the responsibility himself.
During the Instagram Live, Burna Boy shared, “Why haven’t I have kids yet? Bro, it’s because I don’t wanna have kids. Like, have you seen my operation? Have you seen my mom the way she loves me? Have you seen my dad the way he loves me?”. The “Love, Damini” singer also stars, “Bro, I know I can’t give that to no one right now with the life I live. So until I am settled and can be there for my children every day, every minute of every day, I am not having any kids”.
He also acknowledged rumors around impotence, laughing them off and noting medical solutions like IVF. Fast forward to 2025, even with the relentless pace of his career and increasing global fame, Burna Boy seems to be warming up to the idea of becoming a father.
It’s about to be another music season with the Afrobeats star as he is set to release his newest album, No Sign of Weakness.
Earlier in May, Damini had released a collab single, “Tatata” with American rapper, Travis Scott. With the strategic release of that track, we can only expect greater from the upcoming project by the Nigerian singer.
The album, which will.be released on July 11 features introspective tracks that explore growth and the singer’s evolving.
Despite his recent desire to gather a child, Burna hasn’t revealed a timeline or partner details (since Chloe Bailey), but fans and tabloids have begun speculating about who may eventually be in his children’s lives.
For an artist who has built a global brand on confidence, rebellion, and raw Afrofusion brilliance, embracing fatherhood is a profound personal and artistic milestone. It might even mark the beginning of a new era for Burna.
