Nigerian Grammy-winning superstar, Burna Boy, has opened up about his feelings toward living abroad, particularly in the United States, saying he never feels completely free there.

During an interview with streamer Playboymax, the “Odogwu” hitmaker explained that while the U.S. offers many advantages and opportunities, his true sense of peace and freedom can only be found at home in Nigeria.

Burna Boy shared that no matter how comfortable life abroad may seem, it doesn’t provide the same authenticity and ease he experiences in his homeland.

“I like freedom, and the definition of freedom is in my country,” he said. “I can never be fully free here, if I could though.”

He went on to express concerns about the U.S. justice system, noting that many talented people he knows have ended up behind bars, which adds to his discomfort living in America.

For Burna Boy, Nigeria remains the one place where he feels completely at ease — a place where he can be his true self without constant restrictions or fear.
