He claimed that he was an excellent goalkeeper and he switched to music because he “didn’t feel important” when playing football.
This was revealed by Burna Boy during a conversation with British-Nigerian media personality Julie Adenuga.
Burna stated that he did not want to spend the rest of his life being a goalie and that he thought the squad would be OK without him.
He said;
“I love football. I was good at playing football but the wickedest thing was that I was good at goalkeeping. That’s why I just stopped because [goalkeeping] was dead.
I didn’t feel so important. I just didn’t feel like I was needed like that. I felt like without me the team will still be alright. I don’t want to spend my life like that.”
