Nigerian Grammy awards winner, born Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has recently showcased his expensive mansion in Lekki, Lagos State, to Architectural Digest (AD), a prominent magazine.
AD is an American monthly magazine established in 1920. Its major subjects are interior design and landscaping, rather than pure outside architecture.
During the invitation, Burna Boy, the Grammy Award Winner was seen in a less than 5-minute video, in which he took AD through the two-story building, exhibiting to his visitors the designs that grace the house and the inspiration behind the structure.
The seven-bedroom mansion, which sits on a quiet 13,000-square foot, is designed by Akose Enebeli, a Nigerian architect, who had also constructed a 10-bedroom luxurious home for Jude Ighalo, the former Manchester United striker.
Inside the mansion, the multiple-award winner took AD to the exquisite living room, from the guest room to his room”, where old records, vinyl, and pictures of music legends, including that of Fela and Ebenezer Obey among others was hung, and also to his sisters’ rooms, and his highly-powered studio, which he called ‘the magic spot’.
It is assumed that Burna Boy is the first Nigerian entertainment personality to be featured on Architectural Digest’s Open Door series.
AD has given a visual tour of many top musicians’ homes including that of Kanye West, Big Sean, Lil Wayne, and Diddy.
According to an Instagram post by AD on Friday, September 24, 2021, it stated that “In early 2020, Grammy winner Burna Boy had just moved into a seven-bedroom home nestled onto a bucolic estate in Lagos—Nigeria’s creative and commercial capital.”
“His architect, Akose Enebeli, had constructed the two-story Lekki house in which Burna could simply be himself. But the story of this home, and how it came to be, goes back to 2017 when Enebeli was in the middle of building a 10-bedroom mansion for former Manchester United striker Jude Ighalo and got a call from an unknown number.”
