Nigerian music superstar Burna Boy is officially involved in a paternity dispute involving socialite and businessman, Cubana Chiefpriest. A legal representative for the Grammy-winning artist has confirmed the singer’s connection to the ongoing case that has sparked widespread media attention in recent weeks.
In a statement released on Monday, Burna Boy’s lawyer, who requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the matter, revealed that the singer is currently working closely with his legal team to address the claims. The paternity issue, which reportedly revolves around a child fathered by an unknown individual, was first brought to light by Chiefpriest on his social media platforms last month.
“We can confirm that Burna Boy is involved in the case, and his team is actively engaging with the necessary legal proceedings,” the statement read. “At this time, we ask for respect and privacy as the matter is dealt with through the appropriate legal channels. Burna Boy remains focused on his career and has every intention of resolving the issue swiftly and amicably.”
The paternity dispute reportedly involves a child whose mother had previously been in a relationship with Chiefpriest, sparking speculation that Burna Boy may have been involved in the conception. The case has dominated public discourse, with fans and critics alike weighing in on social media.
While details of the legal proceedings remain scarce, sources close to the matter suggest that both parties have agreed to undergo DNA testing as part of the ongoing investigation.
Chiefpriest, a prominent figure in Nigeria’s nightlife and entertainment scene, has yet to make an official public statement regarding the legal updates. However, sources indicate that he is also working with his own team of lawyers to ensure the best possible outcome in the case.
Burna Boy, who has garnered international acclaim for his hit albums and powerful performances, continues to maintain his focus on his musical career, with plans for a major tour and new album set for release later this year. However, the involvement in this personal legal matter is expected to draw significant attention in the coming months as the case unfolds.
As of now, the Nigerian music industry watches closely, waiting for further updates on this high-profile dispute.
