The artiste who is no stranger to Twitter rants had first set the ball rolling with a response to British musician, K*Ners who had given Burna Boy a shout-out for being talented and hardworking. This had attracted conflicting comments from other internet users who felt his rise was majorly due to his deal with Atlantic Records and not on account of his talent like counterparts, Wizkid and Davido. It was at the moment when K*Ners had asked contradictors whether Burna Boy shouldn’t have taken the international deal that Burna himself had stepped in. The megastar in his response took a swipe at fanbases who had been countering Burna Boy’s rise to fame in the comments and appeared to be the Wizkid FC as well as 30BG Gang. He said;
“Bro. Don’t get worked up. It’s Nigerian Twitter with 2 delusional fanbases, trust me You are not talking to actual people if their handles look like that”
