“This is weird but I used to draw comic books and copy different superheroes like Spiderman, Superman and I would just draw it,” he said.
“At one point, I wanted my own superhero, where I could draw myself as a superhero with the cape and all that. I was trying to come up with a name and all I could think of was Burna Boy.”
The ‘African Giant’ crooner also spoke about his recently released album titled ‘Love, Damini’.
Burna Boy said Ed Sheeran, the British RnB singer, who featured in ‘For My Hand,’ a song off the album, is “one of his favourite people in the world.”
