African music stars are known for their vibrant personalities, electrifying performances, and chart-topping hits. But some take self-expression a step further, adorning their bodies with tattoos that hold deep meaning. Here’s a look at four singers whose ink tells a story:
Burna Boy: “African Giant” wasn’t just a hit album for Burna Boy, it was a global breakthrough. To commemorate this achievement, he permanently etched the album’s title onto his skin, a constant reminder of his journey to stardom.
Davido: Loyalty is everything for Davido. The “HKN” tattoo represents the record label he co-founded with his brother, the platform that launched his music career. It’s a tribute to the foundation of his success.
Diamond Platnumz: Family comes first for Tanzania’s musical giant. “Sandra” isn’t just a random name, it’s a permanent reminder of his love for his mother. With this tattoo prominently placed on his hand, a constant glance at his watch serves as a sweet homage to mama.
Wizkid: “Moreayo” is more than just a trending hashtag. It’s Wizkid’s mother’s name, a symbol of the joy she brought to his life. This deeply personal inscription also holds the title of his upcoming album, a heartfelt dedication to his late mother.
