Nigerian singer Damini Ogulu, also known as Burna Boy, indirectly labeled his fellow artist Davido as a “joke.” This remark was made in response to a Davido fan who, after Burna Boy lost four Grammys recently, referred to him as an “ode.”
Responding to the comment on a post on Burna Boy’s social media handle, the Davido fan, featuring the DMW boss as his display picture, ignited the exchange.
“Ode, bottled four Grammys,” to which Burna Boy replied, “The actual joke is in your display pic.”
Burna Boy later deleted his comment after the fan changed his display picture from Davido to the ‘African Giant.’
Another fan attempted to troll the singer for deleting his comment but Burna Boy explained that he did that because the troll changed his display picture.
The fan wrote, “Burna Boy no fit stand on business? He fold?,” and Burna Boy replied: “You nor see say baba don change am put my picture? Na me be joke?”
Despite the singer deleting his comment, it has continued to receive backlash on social media, with many condemning the comment.
See some of the reactions below:
@NuTyrant: “Burna Boy throwing shades at Davido unprovoked shows that he’s immature, one of the reasons he’ll always be categorized as a New Cat.”
