Tensions have flared between award-winning Afrobeats singer Damini ‘Burna Boy’ Ogulu and socialite Pascal Okechukwu, Cubana Chief Priest.

The rift began when Burna Boy referred to the socialite as the “Owerri Rick Ross” in a post widely interpreted as a jab at the celebrity barman, a close friend of Davido.

In the post, Burna Boy wrote: “No forget say u be Azaman o And dem don gbe your plug wey him name na ‘Omo Igbo’ for ATL and na u be next #OwerriRickyrozay.”

Cubana Chief Priest responded on his page, suggesting that Burna Boy was simply upset and alleged that the singer is indebted to a London jeweller.

His words: “Diddy oil the fastest way to PTSD. you never see anything, you and your bend down collect Grammy.” In another post, he added, “The Ferrari’s. The London jewelers debt. I’m coming. I have long waited for this moment. Osubrileeee oooo”

Burna Boy further replied, claiming he pays for everything in cash and does not owe money like Cubana Chief Priest’s boss.

Cubana Chief Priest revealed that he paid Burna Boy just N1M to perform at his 2018 birthday when the singer was lesser-known and shared a video of Burna Boy asking him for cake, suggesting he was wealthy long before Burna’s rise to fame.

The feud has generated a flurry of reactions on social media.

@Wizarab10 wrote, ”Burna was poor and broke” is not a jab. You can’t mock a successful person for once being poor. That is a credit to their success. You people are terrible at throwing shade, considering it is easy to shade Burna. This is a curse of centring everything around money.”

@effizzzyy said, “Them no believe say Burna boy go surpass all their past achievements, you reach class first no mean say na you go graduate as best student.”

@Olamide0fficial remarked, “Burna Boy had his low days and humble beginnings but you can’t clown him for being a real hustler. Putting his sweat and blood into this music thing and making it against all odds is a big deal. That’s a true champ!!”

@TycoonRazzi said, “Cubana Chiefpriest was on his own when Burna decided to shade him Chief priest replied him and you people are saying he shouldn’t have said this and that”

@IsabellaAmara wrote, “I hope you all see why burna boy will never forgive speed Darlington. It takes one bád talk to damage someone’s reputation. I will never forgive anyone who tampered with my reputation. Never!!!”

Former Big Brother Naija star, Tega Dominic has addressed claims by Frank Edoho’s estranged wife, Sandra, who accused her and others of affairs with the TV host, even in their home.

In a statement posted via her X handle, Tega explained that her friendship with Edoho started in mid-2025 over social media and a shared birthday wish to her mother, with their only meeting having her manager in attendance.

Her post read, “I honestly did not want to speak on this because I have spent a long time trying to stay away from unnecessary drama, but at this point, my silence is no longer helping. I have absolutely no sexual or emotional relationship with Frank Edoho.

“Frank is a great guy and a very good friend of mine. We started talking around mid-last year after he sent birthday wishes to my mum. Like many people in the industry, we already knew each other through social media and mutual familiarity. He is also my kinsman. There was never anything inappropriate between us.

“The first and only time I hung out with Frank was with my manager, Paul Ukonu, present,”she said.

“I have absolutely nothing to hide. And honestly, if I ever had anything to do with Frank romantically, I would say it with my full chest. He was separated at the time, and I am also separated. If you know me, you know I have never been the type to hide or sneak around. I say things exactly as they are.

“I have worked too hard to build myself and my brand step by step to allow false accusations stain my name like this. I owe it to my family, friends, supporters, and the reputable brands I work with to protect my reputation.

“I believe it is important for evidence to be provided because I will not let this slide. My name cannot be dragged carelessly into false narratives.

“This has honestly been very upsetting for me, but moving forward, my lawyers will handle the matter appropriately.”
