I thought goalkeeping was dead- Burna Boy on why he could not become a footballer

Burna Boy recently revealed to his followers how he gave up his passion of playing football in favor of music, which helped him reach the peak of success.

The towering self-described African Giant claimed his place in goalkeeping during his playing days, but he said he ‘didn’t feel relevant’ to his club since ‘goalkeeping was dead.’

This was brought up in a chat between the Grammy-winning singer and British-Nigerian media personality Julie Adenuga. Burna said he did not want to continue playing goalkeeping and that the team would be just fine without him.

He said; “I love football. I was good at playing football but the wickedest thing was that I was good at goalkeeping. That’s why I just stopped because [goalkeeping] was dead. I didn’t feel so important. I just didn’t feel like I was needed like that. I felt like without me the team will still be alright. I don’t want to spend my life like that.”
