Damini Ogulu, Nigerian Afrofusion
artiste better known as Burna Boy, says he can go shirtless if he sees someone
wearing the same shirt he is wearing at an event.
In an interview with Africa’s
Finest, a fashion magazine by Guaranty Trust Bank, the ‘Ye’ singer said he is
already working on his own fashion brand.
“I try to do what makes me feel
like I’m swaggy, it could be a named brand or not. It just has to make me feel
good. It just has to be different. For me, if it’s not different, then I don’t
feel good,” he responded when asked to describe his style.
“I could go somewhere wearing a
shirt, and if I see someone wearing the same shirt, I’ll take it off and just
be shirtless!
“I’m working on it as we speak.
It’s my ‘merch’ from my tours but the design is really giving out what I would
wear. If I were to wear what I’m wearing right now, It would be all Burna Boy,
it would be all my design. That’s basically it! It would be my designs on
clothes that I like. I’d describe it as ‘Reckless & Sweet’.”
Listing designers he would love
to collaborate with, the artiste who says his love for comic books inspired his
stage name, mentioned Virgil Abloh, Off-white and Louis Vuitton.
Speaking on the inspiration
behind his music genre, Burna Boy said: “I had a lot of musical influence
growing up, from my grandfather’s highlife and afrobeat collection to my dad
who gave me my first reggae CD. That’s why I call my genre Afro-Fusion, it’s a
concoction of different elements of sound.”
