“Nawaoo, So truly Diddy open Burna Boy Yansh” – Netizens Reacts as Burna Boy Admits to Diddy’s Role in Grammy Win During Banter with Cubana Chief Priest(Watch)
Grammy award-winning artist Burna Boy has sparked a fresh wave of controversy following a statement made during an online banter with celebrity nightlife entrepreneur Cubana Chief Priest.
In his response, Burna Boy appeared to address long-standing speculations about the influence of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs on his Grammy win for the album Twice as Tall.
Burna Boy wrote:
“Yes, Diddy oiled me, and I won my first-ever Grammy. Does your boss have one?”
The remark, which seemed to acknowledge Diddy’s critical role in the album’s success, has gone viral and attracted mixed reactions. While some fans praised Burna Boy’s candidness, others viewed the comment as a self-inflicted “own goal,” fueling debates about the extent of external support in his Grammy achievement.
The exchange with Cubana Chief Priest reportedly began with insinuations questioning Burna Boy’s independent contributions to his success.
The response has since reignited discussions about collaborations in the music industry and the weight of external influence on individual achievements.
