Nigerians react as Burna Boy launches cannabis business

Nigerian singer ad songwriter, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has launched his own cannabis brand “BRKFST” in South Beach, Miami.

The Grammy-winning star who rose to stardom in 2012 after releasing "Like to Party", the lead single from his debut studio album, L.I.F.E, introduced the BrkFst brand in South Beach, Miami, a few weeks ago.

It was in collaboration with Jokes Up Ice Kream, a marijuana store and shipping service.

Despite some states legalizing its use for leisure and medicinal, marijuana remains illegal under federal law in the US.

Burna Boy's business appears to have taken its name from the smash ballad "Last Last" from his album "Love, Damini," which referred to heartbreak as "breakfast."

Some Nigerian and netizens took to the comment section to share their thoughts on this move by the singer who doubles as a record producer.
