Burna Boy complains about Ghana Jollof
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Burna Boy had sampled a variety of jollof rice during a Complex interview, which required him to taste and guess which African country each meal was from.
The Nigerian Afrobeats star tasted each jollof and guessed right until he tried the Ghanaian jollof, whose taste he could not identify.
When he was told it was Ghanaian jollof, Burna was surprised and told Complex that Ghanaian jollof tasted and looked way better than what they had served him.
