Burna, who is in London, later took to his Twitter page to disclose his mother, who doubles as his manager, had a serious surgery which they decided to keep private.
“I was dealing with a personal family issues at the beginning of these protests. My mum had serious surgery last week! We were all invested in making sure she recovers! I am not about that “put it all out on social media” life.
We decided the focus must solely be on this protest,” he tweeted.
