Speaking to Billboard on his album, Love, Damini, which sums up his life, he revealed that he has no child at age 31.

According to him, the experience is both good and bad.


“When you turn 31 and ain’t got no kids, everything is going good and bad at the same time. You reflect and then you get as lit as possible.”

In a previous interview, he revealed he does not have children yet because he wants to be stable first.

“I just want to be as good a parent to my children as my parents were and still are to my sisters and me. Until I’m confident that I can be stable and settle with the mother of my kids, I can’t have kids.”

Burna Boy, who has been heartbroken after his split from lover Stefflon Don, said he is single.

With no children to inherit his wealth, for now, his mother, sister, and immediate family can enjoy his fortune.

He recalls booking Sarkodie, R2Bees, and Wande Coal for the event as a student. Unfortunately, Wande Coal did not attend the concert, leading to the widespread belief that Mr. Eazi had fled with the money. In reflecting on the difficult circumstance, Mr Eazi stated, "I didn't know that he [Wande Coal] didn't receive his full money." Despite financial restrictions and unfinished business, Mr. Eazi addressed Sarkodie and Mugeez with humility.

Mr Eazi, global Afrobeats singer, investor, and entrepreneur, recently told a touching anecdote about how renowned Ghanaian musicians Sarkodie and Mugeez saved his career during his university days.

Mr Eazi, who began as an event organiser in college, had a difficult experience when some of the performers he had engaged for an award show were unable to come owing to budgetary restrictions.

Despite financial restrictions and unfinished business, Mr. Eazi addressed Sarkodie and Mugeez with humility.

“I remember begging Sarkodie, who was owed $2,500.00, pleading with him even though I hadn’t paid him completely. He came on stage, saving me with his presence. That’s why, till today, R2Bees’ Mugeez is more than a friend; he’s a brother. He came, jumped on stage, and killed it,” Mr Eazi expressed
