Notable Nigerian businessman, Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up about his recent fallout with Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy, suggesting that jealousy over his close bond with Davido might be the root of their feud. Speaking in an interview on Rubbin’ Minds with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Cubana Chief Priest explained that he and Burna Boy were once friends but drifted apart as Burna’s fame grew.
According to him, their connection faded over time, leading to a social media clash weeks ago after Burna Boy allegedly threw shade at him.
“He came at me first, and I had to retaliate,” Cubana Chief Priest said. He speculated that Burna Boy might feel envious of his loyalty to Davido.
“I’m always there for Davido, taking subs and backlashes for him. Burna Boy, who doesn’t have anyone like that by his side, might feel jealous.”
The businessman went on to praise Davido for being a dependable friend, emphasizing how the DMW boss consistently shows up for him during crucial moments. When asked about allegations of being involved in fraudulent activities in the U.S., Cubana Chief Priest denied the claims, clarifying that his inability to travel to the U.S. stems from a visa issue he is working to resolve.
As for the possibility of reconciling with Burna Boy, he expressed openness to ending their feud:
“I’m a busy man with lots of deals to close, and Burna is also busy. But if he feels the need to settle things, I’m willing to bury the hatchet.”
