Grammy-winning Nigerian artiste Damini Ogulu, also known as Burna Boy, subtly called his colleague Davido a “joke”.
Burna Boy made the shady comment in response to a Davido fan who labelled him an “ode” for recently losing four Grammys.
Commenting on a post on Burna Boy’s X handle, the Davido fan who used the DMW boss as his display photo wrote: “Ode, bottled four Grammys,” to which Burna Boy responded, “The actual joke is in your display pic.”
Burna Boy then took down his comment after the fan changed his display photo from Davido to the self-styled ‘African Giant.’
Another fan tried to tease Burna Boy for removing his comment, but the singer stated that he did so because the troll changed his display photo.
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’s withdrawal of the comment, it has sparked widespread condemnation on social media.
It has also rekindled the longtime rivalry between the duo with fans of both artistes going head to head in defence of their favourite artistes.
It’s been close to 20 hours and Davido hasn’t responded to what burna boy said? I’m impressed can’t lie
