Grammy-winning Nigerian artiste, Damini Ogulu, also known as Burna Boy, has disclosed the reason behind his recent decision to decline a $5 million offer to perform in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Burna Boy stated that he rejected the offer because he would not be permitted to use marijuana while in Dubai. The laws in the UAE prohibit smoking in public recreational areas, such as parks and beaches.
