Burna Boy addressed comparisons to Fela Kuti and subtly criticized an unnamed artist over false claims about a Banana Island home. Declaring himself "BIG 7," the Afrobeat star emphasized positivity while igniting online debates, with Davido’s fans responding to the perceived jab. Social media is abuzz over this brewing rivalry.
Nigerian music sensation Burna Boy has reignited online debates with his recent social media posts addressing comparisons to Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti and taking subtle jabs at an unnamed artist.
The "Bundle by Bundle" crooner, known for his confidence and outspokenness, declared his individuality, distancing himself from Fela Kuti's legacy. "All that Burna Boy and Fela talk need to die. I'm not Fela, I'm BIG 7. I'm all about positivity, peace, and prosperity," he wrote, reiterating his focus on charting his unique path in the music industry.
In another post, Burna Boy subtly criticized an artist who allegedly misrepresented their achievements by claiming to have bought a home in Banana Island when it was only rented. "If you ever lied about buying a house in Banana Island when you only rented it, do better in 2025," he added, fueling speculations about who the message might be directed toward.
The posts, considered by many as a veiled message to fellow musician Davido, have sparked varied reactions. Davido’s fans, in particular, took to social media to defend their favorite artist. Some argued that Burna Boy’s remarks seemed unnecessary, while others expressed amusement over the perceived rivalry.
The controversy comes shortly after Davido was seen mingling with Burna Boy’s mother at a recent event, adding a new layer to the ongoing discourse about the dynamics between these prominent Afrobeat stars.
