Viral video sparks debate as alleged cousin accuses singer of prioritizing outsiders over family support.
Days after Nigerian music superstar Burna Boy made headlines with a generous N50 million donation to Bethel, allegedly the brother of socialite Cubana Chiefpriest, a man claiming to be the singer’s relative has surfaced online, igniting a wave of controversy.
In a TikTok video that has since gone viral, the young man—reportedly Burna Boy’s cousin—accused the Grammy-winning artist of neglecting his family in Port Harcourt. According to him, while Burna Boy is quick to extend financial assistance to outsiders, he has failed to support his relatives.
Family vs. Public Philanthropy
The alleged cousin stated that when he approached Burna Boy for help with his business, the artist dismissed him, advising him to “hustle” instead. He further claimed that Burna Boy’s mother and manager, Bose Ogulu, is the only family member who occasionally provides financial aid.
“You have never given us, your family members, money before. It’s only your mom that comes around and shares some money for us sometimes,” the man lamented in the video.
He also insinuated that Burna Boy’s recent donation was an attempt to assert superiority over Cubana Chiefpriest, amidst their rumored financial dispute.
Online Reactions
The video has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some criticizing the alleged cousin for airing private family issues in public, while others questioned Burna Boy’s priorities. The singer, known for his philanthropic efforts, has yet to respond to the claims.
Context of the Controversy
The allegations come on the heels of Burna Boy’s widely publicized donation to Bethel, which was seen as a significant act of generosity. The donation has inadvertently fueled a wave of similar claims, with several individuals now asserting familial ties to either Burna Boy or Cubana Chiefpriest.
As the debate continues, fans and critics alike await a possible response from the “African Giant,” who remains one of Africa’s most influential musical icons.
