Controversy erupted on social media after popular socialite and entrepreneur, Cubana Chiefpriest, accused Afrobeat superstar Burna Boy of acquiring his newly purchased Ferrari on credit. The accusation came via a post on Instagram, where Cubana claimed that the luxury car was financed and not bought outright, igniting a storm of reactions from fans and the celebrity circle.
In his post, Cubana Chiefpriest, known for his outspoken nature and close ties to the entertainment industry, hinted that Burna Boy’s acquisition of the multi-million naira Ferrari was part of an elaborate facade. “Not everything that glitters is gold,” he wrote. “Some of these celebrities are using credit to front wealth. Go ask Burna Boy about the Ferrari, it’s on credit. Real men buy with cash!”
The comment quickly went viral, sparking intense debate among fans and industry insiders. Many defended Burna Boy, accusing Cubana of attempting to tarnish the singer’s image. Others, however, found themselves intrigued by the allegations, questioning the true nature of celebrity wealth in an industry often criticized for its display of materialism.
Burna Boy, known for his no-nonsense approach to online criticism, wasted no time in responding to the accusation. The Grammy-winning artist took to Twitter, where he issued a direct response to Cubana Chiefpriest, expressing disbelief at the claims.
“Some people really have time on their hands to talk nonsense,” Burna Boy tweeted. “I’ve worked hard for everything I have. Ask anyone who’s ever known me, I’m self-made. I don’t need to explain myself to anyone.”
His tweet was followed by a series of posts detailing his commitment to hard work and the value of genuine success, while also addressing his personal brand and the importance of being authentic.
While Burna Boy’s fans rallied behind him, many pointed out that the accusations from Cubana Chiefpriest could be part of a larger social media drama. Some speculated that it might be an attempt to gain attention or create buzz for both parties.
As the back-and-forth continued, neither Cubana Chiefpriest nor Burna Boy appeared to back down. The issue has since sparked wider conversations about celebrity culture, the role of social media in shaping public perception, and the realities behind the opulence displayed by celebrities.
Industry experts, however, have called for caution in making public judgments about the financial dealings of celebrities, urging fans to remember that not all that is seen on social media reflects the full picture.
The drama between the two figures is just the latest in a series of online controversies that have captivated Nigerian entertainment fans, leaving many eager to see whether further developments will unfold.
