According to the Burna Boy, he was quite fascinated and also wanted to be a superhero, which was how he got his stage name.
On how life was while growing up in Rivers State, he said;
“It is a different world. There are a lot of similarities between us and any other developing country.
“There is heaven and hell in the same place. There is heaven for the people that have money and connections and is hell, or even worse than hell for people who don’t.
“We are very strong people who are very good at adapting to situations and making the best of the worst situations. That is the spirit we have.
His mother who double as his manager, also got a chance to speak in the interview.
