A Social Media Storm
Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy has found himself at the center of a social media storm after socialite Sophia Egbueje accused him of reneging on a promise to buy her a Lamborghini following a one-night stand. In a leaked audio recording that went viral, Egbueje expressed her frustration, sparking mixed reactions online. Burna Boy, however, has now responded in his signature style—through a freestyle video shared on his Instagram story. Here’s what went down.
The Allegation: A Broken Promise?
In the leaked audio, Sophia Egbueje can be heard venting to a friend about her alleged encounter with Burna Boy. She claimed that the singer promised to buy her a Lamborghini after they spent the night together but failed to follow through.
“He promised me a Lamborghini, and now he’s acting like nothing happened,” she allegedly said in the audio, which quickly spread across social media platforms.
Burna Boy’s Response: A Freestyle Clapback
Never one to shy away from addressing controversies, Burna Boy took to his Instagram story to respond. In a freestyle video, he dismissed Egbueje’s claims with his trademark wit and nonchalance.
“No do no do, no do no do. If you no get me, forget about it,” he rapped. “I no buy Lambo, is that why you are shouting? Where dem dey? I no dey see dem at all.”
The freestyle, delivered in his signature pidgin English, was a clear message to Egbueje and anyone else making similar claims: he’s unbothered.
Social Media Reactions: Divided Opinions
The leaked audio and Burna Boy’s response have sparked a flurry of reactions online. While some netizens sided with Egbueje, calling out Burna Boy for allegedly making empty promises, others defended the singer, arguing that such claims should be taken with a grain of salt.
Team Sophia: “If he promised her a Lamborghini, he should fulfill it. Promises are meant to be kept.”
Team Burna Boy: “Why is she airing private matters online? This is just clout chasing.”
