Black Cannabis Magazine publicized the news on its Instagram page, noting that Burna’s Brkfst is available as tea, snacks, and other consumables in addition to being smoked.

On the magazine’s page, a video of the launch that was shared said, “Burna is bringing his addition to the Cannabis Community by naming his brand BrkFst.

“Most smokers will resonate because they start the day with morning marijuana consumption, Breakfast, your first meal. Hence the slogan is #Brkfstisforsmokers @smokebrkfst.

“Coinciding with Miami Carnival, the all-day celebration started with a Pop Up from 12- 3, Followed by Brunch at Miami Diner from 3:30-7 and had the team representing Burna Boy headlining at the all-white themed Tipsy Musical Festival at Bayfront Park, which closed out at 11 PM.”

The “Twice as Tall” singer discussed the reason(s) why the Nigerian government declined to legalize marijuana during an interview with Home Grown Radio in Los Angeles in October 2021.

He attributed Nigeria government’s refusal to hypocrisy because according to him, a good number of the population consumes it.

“It’s not a zero tolerance. It’s like everybody does it, but no one wants to be the one that is seen with it. It’s just kind of hypocritical out there. Everybody smokes weed,” he said.

Burna added that another reason why the medication hasn’t been legalized is because of misconceptions about its “after effects.”

Burna Boy said; “It’s like some dumb shit, bro. You know that old shit when they talk about it frying your brains. They try to make it seem like if you smoke it, you will go mad.

“Right now, everybody is relaxed, everybody does it, and everybody knows that. It’s just a topic no one wants to talk about.

“No one wants to talk about it; everybody is cool. Nobody wants to make it a thing.”

Timi Dakolo Accuses Apostle Femi Lazarus Of Charging $150 For Ministry School

Religious Gatherings To Avoid By Timi Dakolo

The public dispute between renowned singer Timi Dakolo and Pastor Femi Lazarus has intensified, with Dakolo now accusing the Light Nation Church founder of profiting from ministry teachings.

The controversy first erupted when the two clashed over whether gospel artistes should charge fees for performing at church events.

Pastor Lazarus, in a widely circulated video, argued that gospel musicians should not demand payment for ministering, insisting that they should trust God for provision rather than seeking financial gain.

According to him, gospel artistes are not mere entertainers but ministers of the gospel.

Dakolo, however, pushed back against this view, accusing pastors of pressuring gospel singers to offer their services for free.

He defended their right to earn a living, pointing out the financial responsibilities they face.

He also suggested that instead of expecting professional gospel musicians to perform without payment, pastors should focus on developing their church choirs.

Clarifying his stance, Dakolo stated that his response was made out of respect and love. He emphasized that, while he grew up in the church, he does not identify as a gospel artist.

However, he then shifted the discussion by accusing Pastor Lazarus of charging students for enrollment in his ministry school, which provides Christian teachings.

According to Dakolo, the school’s enrollment fee is approximately $150 per student, with about 1,000 students reportedly registered. He backed up his claims by sharing a screenshot that allegedly details the fee structure.

He criticized the pastor for monetizing what he described as a “freely given gift and revelation.”

“All this was said in love and with respect, sir. I am not a gospel artist but a Christian raised in church. Let’s not shift the goal post,” Dakolo stated.

“By your definition, if anyone charges to minister, they are not gospel artists; they are performers. And by that definition, if any preacher charges to teach and minister, they are merchants of hope and motivational speakers too.”

Questioning the structure of the ministry school, he added:

“Sir, you are charging as low as $150 per person for your school of ministry, teaching and preaching Jesus, probably having as much as 1,000 students. Let’s do the maths. You even have premium and standard for God’s house? Are you not selling the gift and revelation freely given to you? Again, let’s not keep shifting the goal post.”
