Nigerian music star Burna Boy has taken a subtle jibe at fellow artist Davido, who is currently embroiled in a child custody dispute with his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu.
When a social media user suggested that Burna Boy should follow Davido’s example and get married, he replied, “Baba make I just dey as I dey abeg, u nor see wetin him dey face like dis?” (meaning “Let me just be, you don’t see what he’s going through”).
Burna Boy’s response was a clear reference to Davido’s ongoing legal battle with Sophia Momodu over their child custody saga.
The user had mentioned Davido’s recent wedding to Chioma and his custody dispute with Sophia, to which Burna Boy responded with a series of pointed comments.
The exchange continued with another user criticizing Burna Boy’s response, to which he retorted, “Ok. But between me and you, Shey na betta example the guy use?” (meaning “Is that a better example to follow?”).
When asked if he considered Adekunle Gold a better role model, Burna Boy agreed, stating, “Ehen! Na wetin we dey pray for be that bros” (meaning “That’s what we’re praying for”). He expressed his admiration for the relationship between Adekunle Gold and his singer wife, Simi.
Burna Boy’s comments have sparked a heated debate on social media, with fans divided over his stance on the matter. Some have praised him for speaking his mind, while others have criticized him for being disrespectful to Davido.
