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.

The publication claims that on October 7, 2022, Odogwu launched his cannabis brand BrkFst in South Beach, Miami, in association with Jokes Up/Ice Kream.

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.”

Olajumoke Onibread Accuses Ex-Husband Of Assault, Career Sabotage

Published

on

Model Olajumoke Orisaguna, popularly known as Olajumoke Onibread, has opened up about her traumatic experiences in her marriage, accusing her ex-husband, Sunday Orisaguna, of domestic violence and ruining her career.

In an interview with City FM, Olajumoke shared harrowing details of her past, highlighting the abuse she endured during her time in her ex-husband’s family home in Ire, Osun State.

“We stayed in my husband’s family house at Ire in Osun State, and there is no way you stay in such a place that you would not encounter problems,” she recounted.

Olajumoke revealed that her mother-in-law’s hostility exacerbated the situation, as her ex-husband often sided with his mother without hearing her perspective.

“He would not hear my own side of the story before beating me. Whenever I had a misunderstanding with his mother, he would beat me to the extent that my face and body would be swollen. Sometimes he would even use a belt,” she said.

She further explained how she kept the abuse hidden to avoid upsetting her mother, who also lived nearby. Despite the hardships, Olajumoke continued to support the family financially, as her husband was unemployed.

Reflecting on a pivotal moment in January 2016, Olajumoke described the day she decided to leave:
“We were frying akara for his dad’s remembrance when I had an issue with his elder sister. As usual, he beat me up, and I decided that I was going to leave, move to Lagos, and start working at the bakery because I had been there before.”

Three days later, she relocated to Lagos with her two children. According to Olajumoke, the separation led to further challenges as her ex-husband began tarnishing her reputation, contributing to her career’s decline.

“Everything started going down the drain after separation because he started spoiling my name. Since then, things started going down,” she lamented.

Olajumoke, who rose to fame in 2016 after a chance encounter during a photoshoot with British rapper Tinie Tempah and photographer TY Bello, is now using her platform to shed light on the struggles she endured.

The model’s story has reignited conversations about domestic abuse and the societal pressures faced by women in similar situations.
