Burna Boy cited the reason for declining the offer as the strict prohibition on smoking marijuana in the UAE, particularly in Dubai, which would restrict his personal preferences.[/p>

It's important to note that smoking is prohibited by Emirati law in Dubai's parks, beaches, and various other public recreational areas.

During a video that circulated on the social media platform X, Burna Boy made this revelation while rehearsing with his band, Outsiders, in a freestyle performance.

It's worth recalling that during this freestyle, he also threw shade at Brymo. While delivering a live rendition of what many believe is a freestyle or a new song, he encouraged others to hustle in order to avoid falling off like Brymo.[/p>
