After 11 months, he was released and given two months parole plus community service on the grounds of being of ‘good behaviour’. But Burna is said to have disobeyed authorities and travelled back to Nigeria where he signed a record deal with Aristocrat Records.
He later traveled back to the UK but was arrested at the airport, deported to Nigeria and barred from the UK for 15 years.
Then in 2015, Burna Boy hinted via a tweet that his ban has been lifted.
Thenetng contacted his management led by his mum, Bose Ogulu in November 2015 who told us, ‘I’m not saying anything about any ban, what I’m saying is that he’s doing a tour of UK in the second half of next year; talking about a ban is not my brief. What we do know is that Burna Boy is doing a UK tour next year. This will be his first concert in UK as Burna Boy’.
