Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy has officially launched his cannabis brand called ‘Breakfast’ in the United States of America.
The development was announced by Black Cannabis Magazine via its Instagram page where it stated Burna’s Breakfst aside smoking comes in tea form, snacks and other consumables.
October 7, 2022, Odogwu launched his cannabis brand BreakFast in collaboration with Jokes Up/Ice Kream in South Beach, Miami.
A video of the launching which was shared on the magazine’s page noted, “Burna is bringing his addition to the Cannabis Community by naming his brand BreakFast.
“Most smokers will resonate because they start the day with morning marijuana consumption, Breakfast, your first meal. Hence the slogan is #Breakfastisforsmokers @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.”
During an interview with Home Grown Radio in Los Angeles, in October 2021, the “Twice as Tall” singer had spoken about the reason(s) for the refusal of the Nigerian government in legalising marijuana.
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 also argued the misconception surrounding the drug in terms of its ‘after affect’ was another reason why it hasn’t been legalised.
