Nigerian socialite, Cubana Chief Priest has fired back at singer Burna Boy, recounting how he once paid the artist N1 million to perform as a backup act at his birthday party in 2018.
The feud between the two began after Burna Boy seemingly mocked Cubana Chief Priest by referring to him as “Owerri Rick Ross” in a post many believe was aimed at the celebrity barman, who is a close friend of Davido.
In the post, Burna Boy wrote: “No forget say u be Azaman o And dem don gbe your plug wey him name na ‘Omo Igbo’ for ATL and na u be next #OwerriRickyrozay.”
In his response, Cubana Chief Priest claimed that Burna Boy was simply bitter, noting that the singer’s Grammy success was influenced by music mogul Diddy.
The celebrity barman also linked Burna Boy’s PTSD to his relationship with Diddy, saying: “Diddy oil the fastest way to PTSD. you never see anything, you and your bend down collect Grammy.”
Cubana Chief Priest went further, revealing that in 2018 he had paid Burna Boy just N1M to perform at his birthday as a lesser-known artist.
The socialite, who also shared a video of Burna Boy begging him for cake during the event, insinuated that he had been wealthy long before the singer’s rise to fame.
He wrote: “Owerri Rick Ross. What a blessing !!!!. See where dem dey rate me put. Me & Rosay #CpNosmall.
“2018 na 1m naira I pay you to perform as back up artist for my birthday. I get pictures & videos where you dey perform for me. I go lie for you. We don dey chop this money before you meet us for queue be humble small boy.”
