Pauloo2104: “Common men!!! Can we stop this nonsense. Billionaire in $$$$$ behaving like ten years old. Stop stop stop. Common! God bless you both.
@Olamide0fficial: “Burna Boy had his low days and humble beginnings, but you can’t clown him for being a real hustler. Putting his sweat and blood into this music thing and making it against all odds is a big deal. That’s a true champ!
@TycoonRazzi: “Cubana Chiefpriest was on his own when Burna decided to shade him Chief priest replied to him and you people are saying he shouldn’t have said this and that.”
@IsabellaAmara: “I hope you all see why burna boy will never forgive speed Darlington. It takes one bád talk to damage someone’s reputation. I will never forgive anyone who tampered with my reputation. Never!!!”
@Wizarab10: Burna was poor and broke is not a jab. You can’t mock a successful person for once being poor. That is a credit to their success. You people are terrible at throwing shade, considering it is easy to shade Burna. This is a curse of centring everything around money.”
@effizzzyy: Them no believe say Burna boy go surpass all their past achievements, you reach class first no mean say na you go graduate as best student.”
