Burna Boy is a famous Grammy award-winning musician. His full name is Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu. He is a 32 year old Afrobeat artist. The offer which was worth $5 million was for him to perform in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, UAE. He didn't take the offer because he knew he wouldn't be allowed to smoke weed while staying in Dubai because of the laws.

Recall Dubai has laws which don't allow people to smoke in all public recreational areas including parks and beaches in Dubai.
In his words “Just now I turned down dubai money, 5 million dollar na small thing cos me I no dey like to dey go where dem no go gree allow me smoke igbo,”
