Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer and global music icon, Burna Boy, has publicly responded to Google’s recent estimate of his net worth, which pegged it at $22 million, clarifying his thoughts and sharing insights about his financial achievements.
The singer, who recently made headlines for controversially asking a fan to leave his concert after falling asleep, addressed Google’s net worth claim during an in-depth interview. He shared his perspective on the matter, highlighting the impact of his career and earnings beyond what is reported online.
The fan incident occurred at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, where Burna Boy was performing as part of his “No Sign of Weakness” global tour. During the concert, the artist halted his performance to address a front-row fan who was reportedly sleeping alongside his girlfriend, stating, “When I stand up here and see you over there with your girl sleeping. It pisses me.” This moment went viral online, adding to the singer’s widespread media attention in 2025.
Burna Boy’s Take on Google’s Net Worth Claim
During the interview, Burna Boy laughed off Google’s estimate and expressed his thoughts candidly, saying: “I prefer them saying that, that’s cool. I like that one. They are way off. It’s truly a blessing to be in a situation to change my family’s life and take care of expenses for other people.” The singer emphasized that the reported figure did not fully reflect the extent of his wealth or his ability to support his loved ones and others around him.
In addition to his music career, Burna Boy has made notable luxury acquisitions in 2025. Most prominently, he purchased Africa’s first 2025 Lamborghini Revuelto, valued at over ₦1.5 billion ($600,000), further establishing his status as one of the continent’s most affluent musicians.
According to financial and entertainment reports, Burna Boy’s expansive car collection is estimated to be worth nearly ₦19 billion ($13 million). The collection includes high-end vehicles such as the McLaren Senna Carbon Fibre Edition (₦3.2 billion), Ferrari Purosangue (₦2.1 billion), and Rolls-Royce Cullinan (₦619.15 million), reflecting his affinity for luxury and performance cars.
The singer’s response to Google underscores both his humility and his pride in the success he has achieved through hard work and talent, while also addressing misconceptions about his finances circulating online.
