Afrobeats star, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has threatened to hire 100 lawyers to sue Nigerian bloggers who are increasingly writing everything about his life and his moves in the music industry.
The Grammy-winning artist who made the announcement in a post on his X page on Wednesday said he was motivated to do so.
While using Nigerian pidgin, he wrote, “Dat money wey I wan give dem instablog dat time, e be like say na to give like 100 lawyers now. But I know say na hustle everybody dey hustle so e go pain me if I run dat kind tin. Why una dey push me na?”
Kenya Gossip Club reports this comes almost two weeks after he paid Nigerian bloggers to stop reporting on him.
According to him, although he never paid any media outlet to advertise his brand, he was willing to do so to avoid publicity.
“How far. All these Instablog, PulseNg e.t.c abeg make all of una do meeting then decide how much I go give all of una make una forget my name totally. I know say I never pay any of una before so I say make I just run am finally. I greet you, bros!” he tweeted on November 3.
Burna Boy has now said he would instead use the money he had wished to pay bloggers to instead hire 100 lawyers to face off with Nigerian blogs while also noting he was being considerate because he knows they (bloggers) are trying to make ends meet.
At an interview in London last month, the famously short-tempered singer stated everywhere would be ‘shaking’ if he had access to his X account.
He said, “If I had access to my account, everywhere would be shaking every day. The ground will be elevated based on my feelings and I don’t like disrespect.
“They always try to disrespect me on the internet. So, my team didn’t let me at them. If not, then the ground will elevate. I will spend too much time there; honestly, I will spend a lot of time there.”
This came after the media reported the artist had refused a long show in Dubai after being informed that he would not be able to enter the stage with his bhang.
Burna Boy is one of the artists who are not ashamed to smoke cigarettes in public anymore while performing on stage.
It will also be remembered that at one time artist Ed Sheeran said that he was surprised by the amount of cannabis the artist smokes.
Sheeran said that in his music life, he has never met someone who likes to smoke weed like Burna Boy.
