Nigerian singer Burna Boy has addressed the misconception that he avoids shaving his armpits because the source of his success lies there through voodoo.
A source reports that photos of Burna Boy showing his unshaved armpits have, on several occasions, sparked reactions.
In a recent interview with Apple Music, the Grammy-winning star described such claims as hilarious.
The interviewer asked: “What would you say is a common misconception about Burna Boy?”
Burna Boy replied: “One is that I don’t like to shave my armpits. People think that it is like Samson in the Bible that [has] his power in his hair.
“There are some people that claim that my armpit is where my power is because I don’t shave. In Nigeria you hear crazy things. There are some people that think that is some voodoo sh*t, like my power is in my armpits [laughs]. I don’t even know how to explain it. It’s just some dumb sh*t that’s going on. I even tried to find out if it’s even possible.”
