President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Patrice Motsepe, has disclosed that Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy was briefly delayed by customs officials at a Moroccan airport over undeclared jewellery.

Motsepe made the revelation while speaking at a press conference ahead of Nigeria’s third-place playoff match at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

According to the CAF president, airport authorities raised concerns during a routine customs check after noticing the volume and value of jewellery in the singer’s possession, prompting a request for intervention.

“I was called that the president has to intervene because there were challenges at the airport. I asked what happened and they said Burna Boy had many beautiful pieces of jewellery and, like in every country, he just had to declare them. The matter was resolved,” Motsepe said.

He stressed that the delay did not involve any allegation of wrongdoing, describing it as a standard customs procedure applicable to high-value items.

Burna Boy later went on to headline the TotalEnergies AFCON Fan Zone concert in Rabat on January 16. The event also featured performances by Ghanaian artiste Stonebwoy and Moroccan musicians Stormy and Jaylann.

The AFCON final is scheduled to hold on January 18 at the Complex Sportif Prince Moulay Abdellah, with hosts Morocco set to face Senegal. Nigeria’s Super Eagles secured the tournament’s bronze medal after defeating Egypt 4-2 on penalties on January 17.
