Burna Boy fires back at a Wizkid fan who suggested he owed his success to his association with P. Diddy, shutting down the implication.
Recall that, Burna Boy faced scrutiny and speculation over his association with P. Diddy, with some suggesting his Grammy win was tied to their connection, amid reports of Diddy’s controversial personal life and involvement in the awards.
Burna Boy took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal his current whereabouts, casually mentioning that he’s currently hanging out at Obi’s house, likely in response to concerns or inquiries about his location.
“Anybody wey dey find me, I dey go Obi’s house like dis”.
A Wizkid fan responded with a sarcastic remark, asking Burna Boy if he wasn’t actually heading to P. Diddy’s house instead, saying “Abi nah Diddy’s house bro”
Burna Boy fired back, daring the Wizkid fan to reveal his identity, saying “show your face, make I know where your house dey”
“Make una dey try show face, to track una dey too stressful. Abeg try dey make an easier for me”.
Burna Boy has a history of clashing with Wizkid’s fans and associates, including a past incident where he challenged Godson, a close friend of Wizkid, to openly criticize him instead of subtly trolling him with a photo of Wizkid laughing, after Godson mocked Burna’s claim of being Africa’s richest artist.
Burna Boy clarified in a public announcement that he doesn’t employ songwriters, stating that individuals credited on his songs are either producers or featured artists, not writers. He explained that in Western music, producers are often credited as writers for their instrumental work, emphasizing that as the “Odogwu,” he pens his own music, reaffirming his creative authenticity.
In March, Burna Boy expressed his disdain for certain colleagues, sharing a provocative plan to hire a pilot to fly over their homes and, in a symbolic act of disrespect, urinate from the plane, watching as it falls on their residences.
Furthermore, Burna Boy sparked attention online two months ago when he publicly acknowledged the artists who inspired his journey, naming 2baba, Timaya, Dbanj, Larry Gaga, and Wande Coal as the only industry veterans he holds in high esteem, referring to them as legends whose impact significantly shaped his life and career.
