Burna Boy To Leave Record Label, Banned From UK




Reports and rumours making the round is that talented artiste and dance hall star Burna Boy (real name Damini Ogulu)  intends to leave his record label Aristokrat Records at the end of 2013, though his contract expires in 2014 and the news of him leaving his record label was instigated by his controversial tweet which he deleted moments later. See tweet after the cut.......
 
 
 #BBG’. #BBG refers to his newly formed crew ‘Burna Boy Goons’.
 
Burna signed with Aristokrat in July 2011, released two mixtapes ‘Burn Notice’ and ‘Burn Identity’ in April and November 2011 respectively. He then went on to drop the mid-tempo hit record ‘Like to Party’ in mid-2012. With two other successful singles ‘Tonight’ and ‘Run my race’, he rose to fame, making a name for himself.
 
Nigeria Entertainment Today (NET) reports on good authority that while in the UK back in 2010, Burna Boy was arrested by London Police for allegedly being part of a gang and stabbing someone to death. He was tried as a minor and sent to jail. After 11 months, he was released and given two months parole plus community service on the grounds of being of ‘good behaviour’. But Burna is said to have disobeyed authorities and travelled back to Nigeria where he signed a record deal with Aristokrat. He later travelled back to the UK but was arrested at the airport and deported to Nigeria. He is currently barred from the UK for the next 15 years.
 
Burna is currently managed by his mother Bose Ogulu who is the daughter of Benson Idonije, a veteran broadcaster and highlife critic who once managed Afrobeat creator Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. See pics Burna with mother signing the Globacom Ambassador deal after the cut.....
