Grammy Award-winning singer Burna Boy has come under criticisms of some fans for omitting to mention Deji Adeleke, the father of his colleague Davido while reeeling out names of Nigerian billionaires during his performance in London.
On Friday night, Burna Boy hosted his African Giant Live from London concert, where a video clip that has gone viral shows him seemingly taking a jab at his rival’s family.
In the clip, Burna Boy performed his hit song “Dangote,” in which he mentions several Nigerian billionaires, including Dangote, Otedola, Alakija, Adeleke, and Adenuga, stating their continued hustle despite their wealth.
However, during the performance, he mentioned the names of the other billionaires but deliberately skipped Davido’s father’s name.
This led to a reaction from a social media user named Johnny, who questioned Burna Boy’s motives, tweeting, “Why Burna skip Davido’s papa?”
