Damini Ogulu, Nigerian singer better known as Burna Boy, has provoked outrage on social media over his thinly-veiled dig at Davido who declared himself and Wizkid as the “two greatest musicians” in the country.
On Friday, Davido took to his Instagram page to share a photoshopped image of himself and Wizkid with the caption, “the 2 greatest of all time.”
Shortly after Davido’s declaration, the ‘African Giant’ crooner took to his Snapchat page to pen a cryptic message.
“You cannot play football, everybody knows you cannot play football and you are an embarrassment to the team but your daddy bought the football team,” he wrote, in a now-deleted post.
Slamming him further, Burna Boy also wrote; “July will be very funny, and I shall laugh accordingly”
Recall that Davido recently announced that his album will be released in July.
His comment has however sparked a plethora of criticism on social media platforms, especially Twitter, where users have since been expressing their annoyance.
“Dice Ailes was also born with a silver spoon, he didn’t rise to fame with the aid of his father’s wealth or influence, and mans been dropping steady hits, from Miracle to Dicey to Ella to Otedola Burna needs to check himself, his envious reasoning won’t move him forward,” a Twitter user said.
“Burna boy is that oversabi student who always wants to be recognized as being top of the class by dragging those at the top yet the class toppers, Balogun Wizkid, Adeleke Davido & consistent studenAdedeji Olamide, keep relegating him cos they’ve sealed top spot,” another user said.
Here is what Nigerians had to say:
I really like Burna, but if he ever thinks that he is somehow somewhere close to the level of Davido and Wizkid then he needs to change his dealer. Jst bcos his girlfriend’s connections are getting him international nominations doesn’t mean he can disrespect his Elders.

I know Burna Boy is a Giant and that’s why Davido is better. David will surely defeat Goliath…It’s God’s engineering.
