“They Say My Power Is in My Armpits” – Burna Boy Laughs Off ‘Juju’ Rumours Over Unshaved Hair

Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy has hilariously addressed a bizarre rumour suggesting his success is tied to unshaved armpit hair and voodoo powers.

In a recent interview on Apple Music, the Last Last crooner responded to the claims with amusement, calling the theory “dumb” and “ridiculous.”

“Some people think my power is in my armpits because I don’t shave,” Burna Boy said, laughing. “They say it’s like Samson in the Bible – that my strength is in my hair. It’s some voodoo sh*t if you ask me.”

The Afrofusion star clarified that his decision to keep his armpit hair has nothing to do with spiritual beliefs—he just doesn’t like shaving.

“In Nigeria, you hear the wildest things,” he added. “I even tried to find out if it’s possible, like maybe there’s some truth to it. But nah, it’s just nonsense.”

The comment came during a light-hearted segment where the host asked Burna Boy about common misconceptions surrounding him.

Fans on social media had mixed reactions to the resurfaced rumour, with many finding it amusing while others applauded Burna’s carefree attitude.

This isn’t the first time Burna Boy has shrugged off controversy with humour, and it likely won’t be the last. One thing’s for sure—whether it’s his music or his armpits, Burna continues to get people talking.
