Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy has addressed a bizarre rumour suggesting that his success is connected to his unshaved armpits.
In a recent Apple Music interview, posted on Instagram on Saturday, the singer dismissed the speculation as “hilarious,” explaining that he simply doesn’t like shaving his armpits.
He drew a humorous parallel to the biblical story of Samson, whose strength came from his hair.

When asked about common misconceptions about him, Burna Boy said: “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 sht, like my power is in my armpits [laughs]. I don’t even know how to explain it. It’s just some dumb sht that’s going on. I even tried to find out if it’s even possible.”
