A video has surfaced online showing a man claiming to be Burna Boy’s cousin, blasting the singer for gifting $30k to a stranger while his own family members struggle financially.
The man, who says he grew up with him in Port Harcourt, expressed his disappointment and frustration, stating that he has never provided financial support to their family, despite his success. He recalled how he asked Burna Boy for money to start a business last year, but was told to “hustle” instead. However, Burna Boy recently gifted $30k to Bethel Okechukwu, allegedly the sibling of socialite Cubana Chief Priest, sparking outrage online.
The man’s words were laced with emotion as he said, “Burna Boy, we’re suffering. You’ve never given our family $1, but you gave a stranger $30k. Why can’t you tell him to hustle like you told me?” Social media users have shared their thoughts on the matter, with some criticizing Burna Boy for not prioritizing his family’s needs, while others defended him, saying that he can’t be forced to help everyone.
