Burna Boy’s Woe

Burna Boy is without a doubt one of the region’s most well-known musicians.

He is both a hitmaker and a consummate performer. His music career, on the other hand, has been marred by scandal. In other words, it’s one popular song vs one drama.
Here, we’ll look at the many times the artist has been caught in acts of violence.

Burna Boy versus Davido in Ghana

Nigerians awakened in December 2020 to reports of a brawl between Burna Boy and Davido at a Ghanaian nightclub. Several accounts claim that the two musicians battled after Burna Boy entered the club where Davido was partying. Several eyewitnesses presented conflicting stories of what transpired that night at the club. According to reports, the incident broke out after Davido’s entourage attempted to keep Burna Boy from entering the club.

Mr 2Kay’s close shave with death at Eko hotel

One of the most talked-about incidents in Nigerian entertainment a few years ago was the attack on artist Mr 2kay by some hoodlums in Eko hotel. 2kay got into problems after insulting Burna Boy in a tweet. Burna Boy responded with a threat.
On Sunday, October 22, 2017, Mr 2kay was robbed and beaten to a pulp during the “Buckwyld N Breathless” event at the Eko Hotel and Suites.

Following the incident, four people were apprehended and eventually acknowledged to the robbery and attack on Mr 2Kay, including his road manager, Joel. During interrogation, the thieves admitted to being recruited by Burna Boy. Burna Boy was then proclaimed sought by police in connection with the event, and he was later charged in court.

Burna Boy versus CDQ

Burna Boy was scolded in March 2021 by rapper CDQ for insulting Nigerian former international footballer Obafemi Martins and supporting those who assaulted him.

On the evening of February 28, Burna Boy and his entourage were at Quilox, an exotic club on Lagos’ Victoria Island. Martins and his crew were also at the club that night. A fight broke out between businessman Rahman Jago, a known Burna Boy associate, and another person.

The problem had an influence on Martins’ camp since it had become so huge. Because of Jago’s links to Burna Boy, they were placed against the former Super Eagles player and his camp. Martins became physically engaged and had to protect himself and find a way to get away from the drama and danger.

A puzzled CDQ, who was also in the club that night, vented his anger at Burna Boy on social media. Martins, a well-known player, and philanthropist thought Burna Boy’s crew had humiliated him.

Finally, The Cubana shooting

In May 2022, Burna was arrested again, this time for allegedly ordering a shooting at Cubana Nightclub. After multiple eyewitnesses testified about what happened, one of the victims told her side of the story.
According to the victim, Briella Neme, they were in Nigeria for a friend’s wedding. They were from the United States and the United Kingdom. Three times, Burna Boy’s men approached Briella, insisting that she meet with him.

She said that this led to a scuffle between her pals and Burna Boy’s entourage. However, the club’s security staff soon diffused the situation. Things quickly deteriorated when Burna Boy’s companions restarted the fight and began shooting.

Burna Boy allegedly gave his security the go-ahead to start shooting at them while laughing about it in the club. When Briella recalled what happened, she stated there was a ruckus in the club in a single second. Her companion and a buddy were both shot in the head and leg.
