Burna Boy speaks out over alleged shooting of another man’s wife

Grammy-winning Nigerian musician, Burna Boy, has shared his perspective on the incident involving the Cubana Club shooting that occurred a year ago.
The issue was addressed by Burna Boy in his most recent body of work, the Sonic album “I Told Them.”

Even if there is already excitement about the album’s tracklist, one song in particular has people talking.

The song “Thanks,” which features rapper J. Cole, directly refutes any theories about Burna Boy’s involvement in the Cubana shooting.

In 2022, Burna Boy faced backlash after it was rumoured that he shot a man in order to speak with the man’s wife.

Burna Boy decided to keep quiet rather than clarify the situation, allowing rumors to spread unchecked.

However, he addressed the rumour for the first time during a concert in January 2023, criticising people who did not want to see him prosper.

In his incredible “Thanks” duet with J. Cole, Burna Boy risks everything.

He sought the accolades he felt he was entitled to for bringing his nation to the forefront of the world and making it proud.

Part of the song said: “Is this the motherfucking thanks I get?

Say my mama dance for fella

Say I not get baby mama

Say I shoot person for Cubana

Because I wan collect person woman

Is this the motherfucking thanks I get?

For making my people proud

Every chance I geeeeet.”
