"Family Man: Burna Boy Opens Up About His Biggest Goals and Fear of Fatherhood"

 

Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar Burna Boy has been candid about his aspirations and concerns regarding starting a family. In a recent interview, he shared that having a family is his ultimate goal, but his demanding music career leaves him little room for the kind of hands-on parenting he aspires to.

Burna Boy's Goals:

- Being a Present Father: Burna Boy wants to be a dad who actively participates in his children's lives, attending school plays and parent-teacher meetings. He draws inspiration from his own father, who was deeply involved in his upbringing despite not being wealthy.

- Taking a Break from Music: To achieve his goal of being a present father, Burna Boy is willing to take a long-term break from music, potentially up to four years, to focus on fatherhood.

Burna Boy's Fears:

- Not Being Able to Give Enough Time: Burna Boy's touring schedule and professional commitments make fatherhood impractical at this stage. He fears that he wouldn't be able to give his children the attention they deserve.

- Replicating His Father's Love: Burna Boy wants to give his children better than what he had, ensuring they don't feel neglected due to his busy schedule. He's determined to be a better father than his demanding career currently allows.

A Shift in Perspective:

Recently, Burna Boy has hinted at starting a family, suggesting he's reconsidering his stance on fatherhood. After turning 34, he jokingly mentioned that he's getting old and should start having kids. This marks a significant shift from his earlier position, where he emphasized his desire to wait until he's settled enough to dedicate his full time and attention to raising a child.
