Grammy-winning Nigerian musician Burna Boy, also known as Damini Ogulu, has quietly called his colleague Davido a “joke.”
Burna Boy made the remark in response to a fan of Davido who labeled him a “ode” for having recently lost four Grammys.
Burna Boy responded to a Davido fan who used the DMW boss as his display photo by saying, “Ode, bottled four Grammys,” under a post on Burna Boy’s X handle. Burna Boy said, “The actual joke is in your display pic.”
After the fan switched from Davido to the “African Giant” as his display photo, Burna Boy later removed his comment.
Burna Boy responded to a fan’s effort to ridicule him for removing his comment by saying that he did so because the user had altered 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?”
The artist removed the comment, but it still caused a stir on social media, with many people denouncing it.
