Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and performer. Burna boy, who had been silent for days following an alleged shooting by one of his security guards at a Lagos nightclub, suddenly speaks out.
Burna Boy’s escort was detained for reportedly shooting two individuals in one of the clubs in Lagos state, according to rumors that surfaced on social media a few days ago.
According to the report, Burna Boy made sexual overtures toward a married woman in the club. Her spouse became upset and challenged him. The situation became tense, and two people were allegedly shot, including the woman’s husband, who is currently receiving treatment in a hospital.
About Burna Boy
BurnaBoy, who shot to fame in 2012 after releasing “Like to Party,” the first single off his debut studio album, published an Instagram post today about the rumor that swept the internet. In 2019, he was named an Apple Music Up Next artist and won Best International Act at the 2019 BET Awards.
In July 2019, he released his fourth studio album, African Giant, which won Album of the Year at the 2019 All Africa Music Awards. At the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, it was also nominated for Best World Music Album. At the 2020 VGMAs, he was named African Artist of the Year.
At the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2020, his album Twice as Tall was nominated in the same category. He is the first Nigerian to receive back-to-back Grammy nominations. Twice as Tall won the Grammy for Best World Music Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2021, making him the first Nigerian to do so.
BurnaBoy, in his first tweet since the allegation began circulating, has this to say about the purported gunshot. On Twitter, his caption read:
“Nigerian Social media can say BURNA
BOY started Boko Haram, e no go
Shock me”.
Could this be a refutation of the reports that have been circulating, despite BurnaBoy’s detailed statement of what happened that day?
Time will tell what really happened, and we’ll keep you updated on this page.
