Celebrity Clash: Burna Boy and Cubana Chief Priest Trade Barbs Online, Fans Call for Peace
A fiery online feud between Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy and popular socialite Cubana Chief Priest has sparked widespread reactions among fans and netizens, who are urging the two to settle their differences.
The conflict, which began just days into the new year, escalated after Burna Boy allegedly referred to Chief Priest as the “Owerri version” of American rapper Rick Ross, along with other unflattering remarks. In response, Chief Priest accused Burna of jealousy and made claims about his personal and financial life, including his Grammy win and past struggles.
Both celebrities have continued exchanging jabs, with Burna Boy even offering $30,000 to support a man claiming to be Chief Priest’s relative, a move fans viewed as both generous and provocative.
Social media users have weighed in on the drama. Some expressed disappointment over the public spat, while others defended their favorites with heated comments.
A user wrote, “Why should two big men enter the new year fighting? We’re watching how this will end.” Another said, “Burna’s success is undeniable, but these back-and-forths don’t help anyone.”
As the tension lingers, fans and commentators alike hope the stars will bury the hatchet and focus on their successes rather than their grievances.
