Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy has ignited a social media firestorm following a contentious exchange with a fan of fellow musician Davido. The incident occurred in the comment section of a blog post discussing Burna Boy’s upcoming album, No Sign of Weakness. A user, displaying Davido’s album cover as their profile picture, criticized Burna Boy’s project, prompting a sharp response from the singer.
In his reply, Burna Boy stated, “I have sworn on my album, and any low-IQ Davido fan who listens to it will suffer permanent deafness.” He further addressed the individual directly, saying, “The message is actually for YOU and every other low IQ bingo with similar DP.”
The term “low IQ bingos” quickly gained traction online, with supporters and critics alike weighing in on the exchange. Some fans defended Burna Boy’s remarks as a form of artistic expression, while others condemned them as unnecessary and divisive.
This incident adds to the ongoing rivalry between Burna Boy and Davido, two of Nigeria’s most prominent Afrobeats artists. Their fanbases have often clashed on social media, and this latest episode is likely to intensify the competition as both artists prepare for upcoming releases.
As the release date for No Sign of Weakness approaches, industry observers will be watching to see how this controversy impacts its reception and whether it influences the dynamics between the two artists and their followers.
