Burna Boy, the Grammy-winning Nigerian artist, has recently opened up about his choice to postpone becoming a father.
In a candid Instagram live session with his fans, the 32-year-old musician explained that he is intentionally delaying parenthood because he wants to ensure that his future children receive the full attention they deserve.
He expressed his desire to fully embrace fatherhood when he feels more stable or when he is in a committed marriage.
He stated:
“Why haven’t I had kids yet? Bro, because I don’t want to have kids yet.
“Have you seen my mum the way she loves me? Have you seen my dad the way he loves me?I know I can’t give that to anyone right now with the life I’m living. So until I’m settled and I can be there for my children everyday, I’m not having no kid.
“I feel like my kids deserved better than I got. And I got both my mum and dad so you understand?”
