Burna Boy
Grammy Award-winning Nigerian artist Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has stirred conversation online following the release of a new video in which he is seen shaving his armpit hair.
The “Ye” crooner, known for his bold personality and distinctive stage presence, appeared to be addressing a long-standing topic among fans and critics alike.
For years, Burna Boy had been called out on social media for frequently performing shirtless while visibly displaying unshaved armpits—a personal choice he once openly defended. In previous interviews and posts, he stated that while he occasionally trims his beard, he had no interest in shaving his armpits, maintaining that he was comfortable with his natural appearance.
The recent video, however, marks a notable shift, as fans quickly pointed out that the artist was finally taking action on a matter he once shrugged off. The clip has since gone viral, with mixed reactions ranging from surprise and amusement to praise for the unexpected change.
According to the singer, keeping his armpit hair is about comfort, natural scent, and personal allure. He joked that girls find it “s3xy,” adding he stays clean by washing regularly.
In his words; “Ask people around me i’m very clean person and smells good more than every artist in the industry. As I’m always on stage performing, my armpit hair are necessary to keep me comfortable, it prevents itching and it can trap which can cause skin irritation while performing.”
“I wash them regularly and use good deodorants. The girls who come around me find it appealing.”
