@Olamide0fficial remarked, “Burna Boy had his low days and humble beginnings but you can’t clown him for being a real hustler. Putting his sweat and blood into this music thing and making it against all odds is a big deal. That’s a true champ!
@TycoonRazzi said, “Cubana Chiefpriest was on his own when Burna decided to shade him Chief priest replied him and you people are saying he shouldn’t have said this and that.”

@Wizarab10 wrote, “”Burna was poor and broke” is not a jab. You can’t mock a successful person for once being poor. That is a credit to their success. You people are terrible at throwing shade, considering it is easy to shade Burna. This is a curse of centring everything around money.”
@effizzzyy said, “Them no believe say Burna boy go surpass all their past achievements, you reach class first no mean say na you go graduate as best student.”
