Between Burna Boy and Nigerian media

Nigerian singer and songwriter, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly known as Burna boy has offered to pay some media establishments off to stop reporting news concerning him

Burna Boy made the offer via X on Friday.

This comes days after he made headlines for claiming to have rejected a Dubai gig of $5m because he wouldn’t be allowed to smoke cannabis in their country.

He said:“How far. all these instablog, PulseNg e.t.c abeg make all of una do meeting then decide how much I go give all of una make una forget my name totally. I know say I never pay any of una before so I say make I just run am finally. I greet you bros!!”

However, his tweet did not go down well with some of his fans and followers, who accused him of being ungrateful and arrogant.

Responding, X personality, Daniel Regha said that the singer owed the media a lot of appreciation and respect, instead of trying to silence them.

He said; “Burna, the Nigerian blogs u are trying to discredit have contributed to ur growth in life; Some news might be wrong but just like fans, u owe ’em a lot of thanks.

“Many people won’t hear about u, ur wins, or projects if they hadn’t promoted it. Stop acting like u are self-made, many people paved a way for u..”

Reacting to Regha’s tweet, Burna Boy said “Oga how much be your money?? Make you sef develop amnesia for my matter. You follow for people wey I dey talk about,”
