In an explosive revelation on social media, celebrity barman and socialite Cubana Chiefpriest has claimed that Afrobeat star Burna Boy once sought his support, but he chose to side with Davido instead. The statement has ignited a firestorm of controversy on the internet, further fueling the ongoing rivalry between the two superstars.
In a post shared on his Instagram account, Cubana Chiefpriest, known for his close ties with music mogul Davido, made it clear that Burna Boy had personally asked him to be by his side during key moments in his career. However, Cubana Chiefpriest expressed loyalty to Davido, who is also one of the top figures in the Nigerian music scene, stating, “Burna wanted me by his side but I chose to work with Davido.”
The remarks come as the two artists, Burna Boy and Davido, continue to dominate the Afrobeat scene, with their fanbases regularly clashing on social media over who is the superior talent. Though the two have had public moments of tension in the past, this latest development seems to deepen the rivalry, adding fuel to an already heated feud between their supporters.
The drama took an even more dramatic turn after Cubana Chiefpriest posted screenshots of private messages, allegedly between him and Burna Boy, where the “Last Last” singer supposedly expressed admiration and a desire to collaborate on various projects. However, Cubana revealed that despite the overtures, he remained steadfast in his loyalty to Davido, a move he believes cemented his professional relationship with the 30BG (30 Billion Gang) boss.
The Aftermath
The social media feud has quickly spiraled, with fans on both sides weighing in with heated debates. While Burna Boy’s supporters have defended the artist, accusing Cubana Chiefpriest of seeking attention, Davido’s fanbase has rallied behind the socialite, praising his loyalty and allegiance to the “A Better Time” hitmaker.
Though neither Burna Boy nor Davido has officially commented on the situation, industry insiders suggest that the public rivalry might have deeper roots. Both stars have reportedly had occasional tensions over business dealings and collaborations, and the fallout from this latest public spat is expected to add further strain to their already competitive relationship.
In an industry where personal connections often intersect with professional ones, the divide between Burna Boy and Davido continues to captivate fans and onlookers alike, making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
As it stands, Cubana Chiefpriest’s candid confession has added an intriguing chapter to the saga, with many wondering if this will influence future collaborations—or even further escalate the already fractured relationship between the two Afrobeat giants.
