"Personally, I was playing a lot of football," he said. "I was good at it but the wickedest thing is I was good at goalkeeping," he added.

"That's why I just stopped because it was dead. I didn't feel important. I didn't feel I was needed like that.

"I felt like without me, they will still be alright. So I said I didn't want to spend my life like that."

The decision ended up being the best for Burna Boy, who currently is one of the most loved singers in the world. His song Last Last has been a global hit.
