An old video of award-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy, fondly referred to as the African Giant, pleading with popular socialite and celebrity chef Cubana Chief Priest for a piece of cake, has resurfaced online, generating significant reactions on social media.
This development emerges amidst the ongoing feud between the two prominent figures. Over the past few days, Burna Boy and Cubana Chief Priest have been at loggerheads, with both individuals exchanging jabs and unveiling past incidents to support their arguments.
In a recent social media exchange, Burna Boy appeared to throw shade at Cubana Chief Priest, referring to him as the “Owerri Rick Ross.” Cubana Chief Priest, in retaliation, released videos from his archives, one of which included Burna Boy performing at one of his events in the past for a fee, alongside the now-viral cake moment.
In the video, Burna Boy can be heard humorously pleading, saying, “Make men taste this cake na,” while gesturing for a slice of the dessert. The resurfaced clip has reignited conversations about humility, growth, and mutual respect, as social media users analyze the ongoing clash.
Many social media users have since reacted to the drama, offering diverse opinions on the viral video and the entire saga. Some took sides with Cubana Chief Priest, commending him for showcasing the artist’s earlier days, while others defended Burna Boy, emphasizing his growth and the importance of respecting past efforts.
Below are some notable reactions from social media platforms:
@bigHotbaby1: “Ungrateful human🤣🤣🤣🤣 after all the support and help! He dey disrespect helper.”
@Tcastolo_: “Burna never told you he was born into wealth. However, he is rich now. Let’s talk about Cubana who throws millions in clubs but his brother repairs phone.”
@kristiano_88: “A man shouldn’t be ashamed of getting paid for his hustle.”
@davidchibuike_: “Person say na Burna Boy suppose hop on beggie beggie remix.”
@dscrb: “When a billionaire in dollars, if I attend an occasion and see a good cake, I’ll ask for a slice, not a shameful thing. Getting paid for a job isn’t a bad thing. They should settle their score.”
@moneyminded07: “Everyone has humble beginnings, and the same Burna Boy who performed for ₦1M years back can’t perform for such an amount anymore, so I didn’t see any big deal here. The only thing I see is growth.”
@momolesho: “₦1M, I bet that money was just so he won’t be like he did not collect anything. 2018 Burna don dey ball. Maybe he just took it for logistics. Burna wey men dey catch contact from wetin he lodge for Westwood like 2017. Na cap.”
@Na2iVe: “This one no enter all. It doesn’t matter if it was a penny then; it was a service rendered based on agreement and duly paid for. Growth is something that happens over time, and Burna of now compared to then is proof of that.”
@Terriblizz13: “Burna no know wetin he put himself into… Chief Priest no get anything to lose. Na you be artist. Them go open your yansh see everything u dey hide.”
@geedayyy: “He paid for his services, that’s all, and he needed Burna Boy to perform for him.”
