Celebrity barman, Cubana Chief Priest has continued to throw heavy shades at the popular singer Burna Boy, as he recalls a time back in 2018 when he paid the Grammy-winning artist a sum of N1 million to perform at his birthday celebration. Cubana Chief Priest shared a video that showed Burna Boy in a situation where he was begging for cake during the event. This has reignited the tension between the two socialites, as Cubana Chief Priest uses the opportunity to reflect on their past interactions and current relationship.

It was earlier reported that the two had engaged in a public war of words on social media. The ‘Twice as Tall’ crooner Burna Boy subtly shaded Cubana Chief Priest by calling him “Owerri Rick Ross” in a post, which Cubana Chief Priest didn’t take lightly. His latest comment is now sparking even more controversy, as he continues to call out Burna Boy for seeming to forget his humble beginnings.

In his recent post, Cubana Chief Priest pointed out that back in 2018, he had paid Burna Boy a relatively small amount of N1 million to perform as a backup artist at his birthday party. He reminisced about the time, sharing that there were videos and pictures to prove Burna Boy’s performance at the event. Cubana Chief Priest also reflected on the financial success that he has enjoyed over the years, suggesting that while Burna Boy has recently found his own wealth and fame, Cubana had already been enjoying his financial blessings long before Burna Boy’s rise to superstardom.

I get pictures & videos where you dey perform for me. I go lie for you. We don dey chop this money before you meet us for queue be humble small boy.” Cubana Chief Priest’s words were laced with sarcasm, calling on Burna Boy to show more humility despite his newfound fame. The comments insinuate that Burna Boy has grown distant and perhaps ungrateful towards people who supported him when he was not as successful as he is now.
