A self-proclaimed cousin of Burna Boy has criticized the Grammy-winning artist for gifting $30,000 to Cubana Chief Priest’s alleged relative while neglecting his family. The viral video highlights accusations of neglect and entitlement, sparking mixed reactions online about the singer’s financial priorities and familial responsibilities.
A Port Harcourt-based man has gone viral after claiming to be a cousin of Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy. In a recent video, the man criticized Burna Boy for gifting $30,000 (₦46 million) to Bethel Okechukwu, an alleged socialite Cubana Chief Priest relative, while neglecting his own family.
The man expressed frustration, stating that despite growing up together in Port Harcourt, Burna Boy has never financially supported their family. He accused the singer of prioritizing outsiders over relatives, citing a previous instance where he sought financial help from Burna Boy to start a business but was told to hustle like a man.
The viral video has sparked mixed reactions on social media. Some users sided with the man, arguing that charity begins at home, while others defended Burna Boy, emphasizing that wealth is earned and not owed. One commenter noted, “It’s called the law of grace,” highlighting that blessings are not always distributed equally.
However, the man acknowledged Burna Boy’s mother for occasionally assisting the family. The incident adds to Burna Boy's recent controversies, including his ongoing feud with Cubana Chief Priest. Social media continues to debate the balance between family obligations and personal generosity.
