Burna Boy Slams Wizkid, Davido
Grammy Award winner, Burna Boy takes a subtle swipe at two strongest fun bases in the Nigerian music industry Wizkid FC and Davido as he refers to them as delusional.
UK singer and music producer, K-Ners had taken to the micro blogging platform, twitter to shower accolades on Odogwu on how his hard work paid off. “When I said I was there and saw the rise of @ Burna Boy, I really was he’s living proof that hard work and talent pays off OK” he twitted.
In reaction, a fan took to comment session to correct K-Ners take on Burna Boy while affirming that he missed the actual point that led to Burna’s greatness which has everything to do with Atlantic music records.
Burna Boy, however, interfered by advising K-Ners to ignore chit chat with Nigerian fans as most of them are products of 2 delusional fan bases.
In his words, “Bro Don’t get worked up, its Nigerian twitter with 2 delusional fan bases, trust me you are not talking to actual people if their handles look like that.
In a nutshell, he meant that Nigerian twitter is full of those who are mentally disordered by just Wizkid and Davido, they can’t believe that some other artistes from Nigeria is actually bigger than them.
Remember Burna Boy once claimed he is not a Nigerian artiste perhaps this might be one of his motive for saying such.

The socialite recently appreciated Davido for not “discarding” Chioma.
