Global Afrobeats powerhouse, Burna Boy, has once again proven that he knows how to mix humor with stardom—this time by addressing one of the strangest fan theories surrounding him.
In a recent chat on Apple Music, the Grammy-winning singer revealed that some Nigerians genuinely believe his unshaved armpits are the “secret charm” behind his meteoric rise. “It’s like Samson in the Bible—people think my power is in my armpits because I don’t shave,” Burna Boy said with a grin, comparing the odd superstition to the biblical tale of Samson’s uncut hair.
While amused by the theory, Burna didn’t shy away from admitting he got curious. “I even tried to find out if it’s possible,” he joked, bursting into laughter.
The lighthearted revelation comes at a time when the singer has been trending for a different reason: a viral clip recently showed him with freshly shaved armpits, sparking a storm of reactions across social media. From memes to witty comments, fans couldn’t resist weighing in—some cheering his new look, others teasing that he may have just “cut off his source of power.”
