Three of Nigeria’s biggest music exports, Burna Boy, Davido and Wizkid have come under fire from controversial social media critic, VeryDarkMan for flaunting their luxury lifestyles amid economic hardship in the country.
In a viral video, VeryDarkMan questioned the trio’s recent multi-billion Naira car purchases, suggesting they were tone-deaf to the struggles of the average Nigerian.
Yesterday I saw the news that Burna Boy bought a N3.5 billionaire car. The same yesterday Davido bought a car of over 1billion Naira. They have been doing these,” he said.
“The question I have for Burna Boy, Wizkid and Davido, don’t you people read the room? Una no really dey see country wey una come from? You guys are not the government but I just need to say this.
The criticism follows Burna Boy’s acquisition of a brand-new McLaren Sienna, reported to cost a staggering N3.5 billion and Davido’s recent purchase of a car reportedly worth over N1 billion.
Fans and critics alike have been divided over what some perceive as unnecessary displays of wealth during a time when inflation, fuel hikes, and youth unemployment plague Nigeria’s economy.
