Popular music artiste, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has taken a swipe at socialite and media personality, Sophia. The artiste shared a video on Friday, February 28, 2025, in which he sang an unreleased song. In the freestyle, Burna Boy sang, “If you not getting me, forget about it. I no buy Lambo, is that why you are shouting? Dem dey. Where dem dey?”
Burna Boy and Sophia became a hot topic on social media this week after a voice recording said to be of her and a friend went viral on Instagram. In the voice note, Sophia alleged Burna Boy stood her up after they had made a deal. According to the recording, Burna Boy had shown interest in her and attempted to meet her through various means. They eventually met at a club, after which their relationship progressed.
Sophia disclosed that before engaging in a sexual relationship, Burna Boy had sold her many dreams. “Eventually, I agreed to see him, and after the club, we went home. I was like whatever happens, happens. We ‘knacked’ and all of that because he had already sold me a lot of dreams, and I thought he could be one of my guys. He’s a celebrity, and we know how to code it. I will be doing my own thing, and he will be doing his.”
She further revealed that all of Burna Boy’s promises were nothing but empty words. She stated that he kept giving different excuses when she inquired about the Lamborghini he promised her but never fulfilled his commitments, even when she was about to pay for her car. “The day I paid for my car, I blocked him,” she stated.
The allegations sparked widespread debate on social media, with users expressing varied opinions on the matter. Some criticised Sophia for expecting a Lamborghini from Burna Boy in exchange for sexual favours, while others called out the artiste for failing to honour his promises.
However, when Saturday Beats tried to contact the socialite on social media, her message box was locked. Our correspondent eventually sent a message on her backup page but she did not respond.
Meanwhile, amidst all this drama, a former Big Brother Naija winner, Mercy Eke, announced the purchase of a new Lamborghini worth almost half a billion Naira. In a stunning video where Eke donned a hot sequin black outfit, she posed as she showcased the orange Lamborghini. However, shortly after the reveal, a lady identified as Throat Tracker claimed that Mercy had only paid 40 per cent of the car’s cost price. “Mercy the ********** has paid 40 per cent deposit for that Lambo. Tell Mr. MH to quickly forge receipts/documents for you to debunk my claim right here, and I’ll dig deeper too. Your behaviour disgusts me,” she stated in part.
