Cape Town – Burna Boy, the Grammy Award-winning artist, has recently unveiled a statement jewellery piece worth one million dollars (roughly R19 million).
The piece, created by A Jewellers, includes a diamond-encrusted pendant with the abbreviation “ODG” (short for Odogwu, Burna Boy’s nickname), and an Odogwu chain.
The jeweller described Burna Boy as a worldwide international superstar and a long-time client.
This unique piece features 100 GIA diamonds and was hailed as pushing the envelope in terms of creativity and craftsmanship.
Burna Boy expressed his awe and satisfaction upon receiving the jewellery, saying that it was a million dollars well spent. He also received a diamond-encrusted watch and a luxurious ring.

He mentioned how he ended up in the studio with J. Cole and several tall basketball players, where they discussed life before working on music.
“I don’t really know the dynamics behind how everything happened, but somehow I end up in the studio with J. Cole and a bunch of basketball players tall as hell.” He added that before they started working on music they were just discussing “real stuff about life”.
“And then before we start (recording), he just goes, ‘Bro, this n**** is Tupac’. And then I look around to see who he’s talking about and it’s me who he’s talking about and he’s like, ‘Yeah this n**** is Tupac reincarnated in Africa’,” said Burna Boy.
