Burna Boy, real name Damini Ogulu, has stirred controversy on social media for turning down a specialty from outside in favor of Eba and egusi soup.
In a recent LADbible food testing interview, the singer was asked to select his favorite dish from a variety of Nigerian and British dishes.
Burna Boy was fed jollof rice and cauliflower cheese during the first round of meals. Burna’s resounding rejection of cauliflower cheese was one of the interview’s most notable moments.
He refused the cauliflower cheese, saying it didn’t taste good in his opinion, but he didn’t touch or taste it.
Pot Noodles and Eba with Egusi Soup were the second round of dishes that were served. The famous Afrobeat musician tasted the pot noodles and observed that he would need to use a special sauce to make them work with the jollof rice.
During the interview, he disclosed that his favourite food is jollof. Then, rather than merely tasting the Egusi soup, Burna Boy opened the package that Eba had given and began to eat it.
