The drama surrounding Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy and socialite Sophia Egbueje has taken a new turn, with Nollywood actress Angela Okorie weighing in on the controversy. In a recent video shared on her Instagram page, Okorie criticized Burna Boy for allegedly failing to fulfill his promise of buying Egbueje a Lamborghini after a one-night stand, accusing him of taking advantage of the socialite.
This latest development adds fuel to the fire of a scandal that has captivated fans and critics alike. Here’s what you need to know.
The Lamborghini Saga: What Happened?
The controversy began when a leaked audio recording surfaced, featuring Sophia Egbueje accusing Burna Boy of reneging on a promise to buy her a Lamborghini after they allegedly spent a night together. Egbueje claimed that the singer had agreed to the deal but failed to follow through, leaving her feeling used and disrespected.
The leaked audio sparked a heated debate online, with many questioning the ethics of such an arrangement and others defending Burna Boy.
Angela Okorie’s Take
In a fiery video message, Angela Okorie didn’t hold back her thoughts on the matter. She criticized Burna Boy for failing to uphold his end of the bargain and accused him of taking advantage of Egbueje.
“This is the wrongest thing any celebrity will ever do,” Okorie said. “You’re supposed to be human. God made you this mega superstar for a reason: to advocate for people who cannot speak and to help those who need help. As far as I’m concerned, that girl [Sophia Egbueje] needs help. But you took advantage of her because she told you her price.”
Okorie also defended Egbueje’s decision to demand a Lamborghini, arguing that the socialite had been upfront about her expectations.
“Those criticizing Sophia for demanding a Lamborghini are not being fair because she has named her price. That’s who she is. She has told you she’s as big as a Lamborghini. If you can afford that, then you can sleep with her. That’s what she said.”
Why This Matters
The Lamborghini saga has sparked a broader conversation about power dynamics, consent, and the responsibilities of public figures. Okorie’s comments highlight the ethical implications of Burna Boy’s alleged actions and the importance of holding celebrities accountable for their behavior.
For Egbueje, the controversy has brought her story into the spotlight, raising questions about the treatment of women in such situations.
What’s Next?
As the debate rages on, all eyes are on Burna Boy to see if he will respond to the allegations. Will he address the controversy head-on, or will he remain silent?
For now, Angela Okorie’s bold stance has added a new dimension to the story, ensuring that the Lamborghini saga remains a hot topic of discussion.
