Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Damini Ogulu, alias Burna Boy, has claimed that he recently rejected down a $5 million deal to perform in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, UAE.

According to him, he declined the offer because he would be prohibited from smoking marijuana in Dubai.

Smoking is prohibited in parks, beaches, and all public recreational areas in Dubai under Emirati legislation.
