Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest has taken a dig at Burna Boy following his loss at the 67th Grammy Awards.
As a reminder, Burna Boy was nominated for the Best African Music Performance category at the 2025 Grammys, competing against artists like Wizkid, Tems, Asake, and Yemi Alade.
However, it was Tems who took home the award with her hit song “Love Me Jeje,” beating the other nominees.
In response to Tems' victory, Cubana Chief Priest posted on his Instagram story, suggesting that Tems’ win could have been snatched away if Sean Diddy wasn’t in prison. His post read, “If to say Diddy dey outside dem for use Johnson baby oil rub away her Grammy,” a clear jab at Burna Boy.
This isn’t the first time Cubana Chief Priest has thrown shade at Burna Boy. Many, including the socialite, have claimed that Burna Boy’s 2021 Grammy win for his album Twice as Tall was heavily influenced by Diddy, who now faces multiple charges, including sexual exploitation.
Here are some reactions from netizens:
- “Okay, but why you hide Davido Grammy inside your belle?”
- “I believe Burna is Straight tho I’m not a big fan but I love his Craft and I’ll never downplay his hard work!”
- “Baby oil or not, Burna Boy is good nobody should downplay his craft. E get some kind things wey person suppose dey outgrow sha.”
- “It’s always the nuisance around David that selfishly set him up for more drags.”
This drama continues to fuel conversations, and it’ll be interesting to see how Burna Boy responds to the ongoing comments.
