Nigerian Grammy sensation, Burna Boy said he nursed the dream of someday playing in the United States NBA as a kid.
He revealed this during a courtside interview before the NBA all-star game in Utah last Sunday.
Speaking before his performance at the halftime show Burna Boy said he had dreams of someday playing in the NBA but he got to perform at the NBA all-star game instead so he guessed he made it after all.
The Grammy-winner was joined by Nigerian superstars Rema and Tems in an Afrobeats-themed halftime show that was watched by fans from around the world. The trio dazzled fans with a selection of their hit singles in what was a big night for Nigerian music.
While Burna Boy didn’t realize his dream of playing basketball professionally, he has been able to become one of the biggest African artists whose music has reached different corners of the world.
His half-time performance comes off the back of several sold-out shows across the world in 2022 which includes the Madison Square Garden in New York.
The hitmaker is set to make history by becoming the first African musician to perform at the 60,000-capacity London Stadium on June 3rd, 2023 as he continues his ‘Love Damini’ world tour.
