Grammy: Wike never gave me anything – Burna Boy

• Burna Boy suggested that the ex-Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State didn’t fulfill his promise to him after he won the Grammy.
• This came after Rivers state organized a homecoming ceremony for Burna Boy after his album ‘ Twice as Tall’ won Best Global Music Album category.

Grammy-winning singer Damini Ogulu, professionally known as Burna Boy, has stated that he has not received any gifts or support from any Nigerian politician.

In a recent post on X, he addressed the topic of political support, specifically mentioning former Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.

Burna Boy emphasized on Wike’s 2021 promise to award him a plot of land and cash in recognition of his Grammy win, noting that this promise was not fulfilled.

He emphasized that he has not received any tangible support from politicians, encouraging others to verify this claim.

Burna Boy said:

“No politician has ever given anything. Go ask wike where the land him give me or which money him give me. You think I’m your faves.”

In another news, Burna Boy finally comments on dressing room dispute with Grammy award-winning reggae band .

The drama unfolded at the 2024 Summer Jam Festival in Germany, where both Burna Boy and Steel Pulse headlined alongside other music heavyweights.

According to Hinds, Burna Boy and his entourage allegedly pushed Steel Pulse out of their dressing room to make space for themselves, and sparked a heated exchange.

Days later, amidst the pulsating rhythms of the ongoing Reggae Sumfest in Montego Bay, Jamaica, where Burna Boy took center stage, he seized the microphone to address the brewing controversy.

Towering over the crowd, Burna Boy declared that anyone spreading rumors of his disrespect was merely craving attention.

With unyielding confidence, the ‘Last Last’ hitmaker asserted that he does not go out of his way to disrespect anyone—although he was quick to add that if disrespect is dished out, it’s usually because the recipient has earned it.
