With the whole Burna Boy Vs Cubana Chief Priest issue ongoing, it is no shock that the Nigerian entertainment scene is always rife with drama. This drama comes in the forms of beefs – both physically and online on social media. It also comes with claims of money owed. Sometimes, it could border on celebrities reopening old wounds; taking a shine at who is richer or some other silly stuff.
These acts sometimes beg the question “why?” Some say it’s a cheap way to get back into the eye of the public; some cheap publicity stunt. Others claim that it’s just what it is, everyone trying to command the respect they deserve. A third faction sees it as just some immature people at each other’s throats.
The above are some of the ways people may see the Burna Boy vs Cubana Chief Priest issue. And this write up is one way to touch on all the issues contributing to the entire beef.
Burna Boy’s $30,000 Gift to Alleged Cubana Chief Priest’s Brother Stirs Controversy
The ongoing feud between Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy and Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest has taken a dramatic turn, with Burna Boy gifting $30,000 to Bethel Okechukwu, a phone repairman who claimed to be Chief Priest’s brother. Burna reposted a video where Bethel, working at Lagos’ Alaba International Market, lamented his struggle despite his purported family ties. Bethel expressed deep gratitude in a viral video, thanking Burna for lifting him out of poverty.
Burna Boy explained that his only concern was Bethel’s success and hoped the money would be wisely used.
Chief Priest Denies Relationship with Beneficiary
In a sharp response, Cubana Chief Priest refuted any familial connection to Bethel. He took to social media to dismiss the claim, branding it as a staged drama, and emphasized that no money had changed hands from his end. He further pointed out that he had a biological brother and two younger sisters, dismissing Burna’s move as mere publicity. Chief Priest made it clear that Burna Boy was free to choose where to allocate his resources, but that he had no responsibility for Bethel’s fortune.
Burna Boy’s Promise to Help Alleged Cubana Chief Priest’s Baby Mama
Burna Boy escalated matters further by offering to assist an alleged Kenyan baby mama of Cubana Chief Priest, known only as Hellen. Burna Boy posted his intention to relocate her to Nigeria, provide shelter, a job, and help her son achieve football stardom. This promise came after Hellen had spoken of her dire financial situation and her claim of having a child with Chief Priest—an allegation Chief Priest vehemently denied.
Though the two have yet to meet, Burna Boy has maintained his commitment to helping Hellen, including providing some financial support.
Chief Priest Responds with Luxury Display Amid Fallout
In the midst of their social media battle, Cubana Chief Priest shared a video flaunting his collection of luxury wristwatches, further fueling the feud. The display of his opulence came just days after Chief Priest claimed Burna Boy had a rocky relationship with money and criticized his purchase of a Ferrari. Chief Priest also mocked Burna Boy’s alleged financial troubles, suggesting the artist had bought the car on credit in an effort to impress others.
The N1 Million Claim and Accusations of Debt
The drama deepened when Chief Priest claimed he had paid Burna Boy N1 million in 2018 to perform at his birthday party. However, media personality Bugzy Dvinci disputed this, asserting that it was Obi Cubana, not Chief Priest, who made the payment.
Chief Priest also accused Burna of being in debt, particularly regarding jewelry purchases, which Burna swiftly denied. Burna Boy clarified that he operates on a cash-only basis and has never been accused of owing anyone.
Spiritual Warning From Ghanaian Seer Threatens Burna Boy’s Career
The feud took an eerie turn when Karma President, a Ghanaian seer, intervened. The seer, who had previously predicted the death of Nigerian actor Junior Pope, warned Burna Boy’s mother, Bose Ogulu, to protect her son. Karma President claimed that Chief Priest was involved in powerful spiritual forces that could potentially harm Burna Boy’s career if the conflict continued. He predicted a troubling year ahead for the singer, including legal challenges, urging Burna’s family to take precautionary steps.
