Today, on November 15, 2023, Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy announced his consideration of hiring 100 lawyers to file defamation suits against Nigerian bloggers. This decision comes in response to his earlier promise to give them money as an incentive to cease posting about him.
However, he also said that he understood the reason behind their acts is because they are trying to earn a living.
