Cubana ChiefPriest Accuses Burna Boy of “Childish” Behavior in Heated Neighborhood Feud
Nigerian nightlife mogul Cubana ChiefPriest has publicly accused Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy of engaging in “childish” behavior after the singer shared a video on social media that seemed to feature ChiefPriest’s neighborhood in Ikoyi, Lagos. The incident, which unfolded on Thursday, January 16, has intensified the growing feud between the two.
Burna Boy shared an Instagram video showing someone driving through Ikoyi while his song Bundle By Bundle played in the background. The post included an eye emoji, which quickly sparked speculation online. ChiefPriest, who was clearly upset, interpreted this as a possible threat, claiming that Burna Boy was surveilling his area. He suggested the post might be an implicit warning of a potential attack, either on himself or his family.
Taking to his social media, Cubana ChiefPriest expressed his concerns in a statement, writing:
“This na my neighborhood for Ikoyi you drive pass my crib recording with eye symbol, you are watching me to shoot me a bit or abduct my family. This is childish, dog wey dey bite no dey bark. I be Aba boy, we fight to finish. All your men shall fall that day if you cross my lane. Make sha nothing happen to my family. Na Ikoyi be this here no be Ikate. @nigerianpoliceforce already have the intel so I’m ready.”
The tension between the two celebrities has been simmering for weeks, but this recent incident has raised the stakes significantly. Although Burna Boy has yet to directly address ChiefPriest’s accusations, the nightlife entrepreneur made it clear that he would not tolerate any perceived threats to his safety.
Cubana ChiefPriest, known for his strong presence in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, also took the opportunity to emphasize his roots, referring to himself as “an Aba boy” and warning that he is prepared to fight if necessary. His followers, who are divided on the matter, have been vocal online, with some urging calm and others advising ChiefPriest to take extra precautions for the safety of his family.
The Nigerian Police Force has been tagged in ChiefPriest’s posts, but it remains unclear whether they have taken any official action in response to the allegations. The situation continues to unfold, and many are watching to see how this public dispute will develop.
