“I know say I never pay any of una before so I say make I just run am finally. I greet you bros!!”
Reacting to the post, an X user identified as Daniel Regha, told the singer not to discredit “Nigerian blogs” because they have “contributed to your growth in life”.
“Some news might be wrong but just like fans, you owe them a lot of thanks,” the user said.
“Many people won’t hear about you, your wins, or projects if they had not promoted it. Stop acting like you are self-made, many people paved a way for you.”
Responding to the X user, Burna Boy asked Regha how much he would like to receive.
“Oga how much be your money?? Make you sef develop amnesia for my matter. You follow for people wey I dey talk about,” he said in pidgin English.
Another user said: “if they stop posting about you, you will totally be forgotten”.
