Dancehall pop act Burna Boy has refuted reports that he was banned from the United Kingdom for stabbing and killing someone in the UK five years ago.
“It is not really what these bloggers carried” said the artiste on the 2013 report that he killed someone in the UK and had been banned from entry the country.
He revealed this during his episode of The Truth With Olisa. Curious to know why Burna Boy hasn’t been to the United Kingdom Olisa Adibua asked him the reason for him not going to England. “”I’m not wanted there. I have not been wanted there” stated Burna.
“I wasn’t banned. I’m not going to go into the whole story because obviously right now I am 23 years old, I am going to be 24 in July. I lived in the UK for a bunch of years before 2010 and until I was 20. Obviously my parents are not the richest in the world, and I am not the brightest kid in the world. I felt I had to do what I had to do at the time” he further said.
He also stated that he was not deported. “I came back by myself in the UK, nobody deported me. I didn’t try to go back again. I was booked to go back again for a show, and everything and I didn’t get the visa. The reasons why I didn’t get the visa was because I left when I wasn’t supposed to leave.“
Burna Boy will be allowed to visit the United Kingdom from 2016 after his ‘visa issues’ are over.
