Burna Boy briefly held at Moroccan airport over jewellery

CAF President Patrice Motsepe has revealed that Grammy-winning Nigerian star Burna Boy encountered an unexpected hitch upon arrival at an airport in Morocco, just hours before he was set to headline the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Fan Zone concert in Rabat.

Speaking at a recent press conference, Motsepe disclosed that Burna Boy was briefly held by customs over an issue involving his jewellery. According to the CAF President, customs officers reportedly stopped the singer after noticing “heavy and beautiful gold jewellery,” prompting intervention from officials.

“Recently i was called that I need to intervene because Burna Boy was stopped at the airport after customs officers noticed his heavy and beautiful gold jewellery. I intervened and it was resolved,” Motsepe said, noting that the situation was handled amicably.

Burna Boy later took the stage as planned on January 16, headlining the AFCON Fan Zone concert in Rabat. Ghanaian artist Stonebwoy also performed at the event, alongside Moroccan acts Stormy and Jaylann.
