A Clash of Titans: Cubana Chief Priest Calls Out Burna Boy Over Family Safety Concerns.
In a recent turn of events that has garnered significant attention within the Nigerian entertainment industry, nightlife mogul Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chief Priest, has issued a stark warning to renowned singer Burna Boy. Cubana Chief Priest has publicly declared that Burna Boy should be held accountable should any harm befall him or his family following what he perceives as a threat emanating from the singer’s social media activity.
The controversy began when Burna Boy shared a video via his Instagram Story, which Cubana Chief Priest alleges captures his family residence in Ikoyi. The socialite interpreted the use of an eye emoji in Burna Boy’s post as indicative of surveillance on his family, heightening his concerns about their safety. In response, he has taken proactive measures, informing law enforcement of the potential threat that he perceives.
Cubana Chief Priest’s discontent was clearly articulated in his repost of Burna Boy’s video, stating, “This na my neighbourhood for Ikoyi you drive pass my crib recording…you are watching me to shoot me abi or abduct my family.” His message further escalated, asserting a staunch resolve to protect his loved ones and confront any threats head-on. Notably, he emphasized the impending consequences should Burna Boy cross paths with him, signifying a readiness to engage in conflict.
Adding layers to this unfolding narrative, it is worth mentioning that Cubana Chief Priest has recently engaged in social media jabs directed at Burna Boy, allegedly in retaliation for a subtle insult leveled by the latter. Among the claims made by Cubana Chief Priest are accusations regarding Burna Boy’s purported controversial ties with American music executive Diddy in a bid for Grammy recognition.

The situation serves as a reminder of the often tumultuous relationships that can exist within the celebrity sphere, further exacerbated by the pervasive influence of social media. As Cubana Chief Priest has indicated, the stakes are high, and the safety of his family is paramount.
