Nigerian Grammy award-winning artist Burna Boy is once again at the center of drama, this time with celebrity barman and Davido’s best friend, Cubana Chief Priest.
The two have been embroiled in an ongoing dispute, which has recently escalated following Burna Boy’s act of kindness towards Cubana’s alleged younger brother.
Burna Boy, known for his bold persona, sparked controversy when he shared a cryptic message accusing Cubana of questionable activities. This led to Cubana’s retaliatory claims, including alleging that Burna Boy won his Grammy due to his relationship with American music mogul Diddy. The celebrity barman also recounted how he paid Burna N1 million to perform as a backup singer at his birthday party back in 2018, calling Burna a debtor—an accusation that Burna Boy swiftly denied.
The saga took another turn when Burna Boy extended his generosity to Cubana’s younger brother, Bethel Okechukwu, who had been struggling with poverty. In a heartwarming video posted by Okechukwu on Instagram, Burna Boy was seen gifting him $30,000. Okechukwu expressed immense gratitude, stating that Burna Boy had changed his life, helping him rise from poverty.
In a surprising twist, Cubana Chief Priest responded publicly, making it clear that he has one biological brother and two sisters, stating that his money is his alone and that his brother should find his own success. He urged Burna Boy to show proof of the $30,000 claim and reminded everyone of his own achievements.
This public spat between Burna Boy and Cubana Chief Priest is not just about money—it’s rooted in their longstanding personal feud, which intensified due to their affiliations with rival music stars, Burna Boy and Davido. Last year, a viral video reignited the clash when Davido referred to Burna as an upcoming artist. Burna fired back, calling Davido a “joke,” and the exchanges have continued.
This saga has sparked reactions from fans and onlookers, including a message from Nigerian media personality Shade Ladipo, who urged Burna Boy’s family to intervene, humorously asking them not to take his phone. Despite the ongoing drama, Burna Boy’s act of charity has turned the tide in his favor, showing a different side of the usually controversial artist.
