Burna Boy rains curse on Nigerians urging him to support #EndHunger protests
Burna Boy has sparked outrage by cursing Nigerians urging him to support the #EndHunger protests.
The Grammy award winner posted a tweet on X responding to a video he posted during the #EndSARS protests in 2020, saying, “The fight in me Died on this day. Ogun go doggy anybody wey call my name this time around.”
The phrase “Ogun go doggy” is a Yoruba curse implying that the god of iron (Ogun) will punish anyone who calls him out again.
This tweet did not sit well with some of his followers.
An X user, @boymanagero, quickly fired back, saying, “Oga shut up. Because they did u bad doesn’t mean u give up. U taught us to keep fighting in your songs, but u dey here dey cap nonsense.”
Burna Boy replied to the user, saying, “I taught u to keep fighting your oppressors, but you chose to fight Me.”
The conversation continued with another netizen, @jr barryy, stated, “Because you wan ghost and you de call yourself African giant.
Burna Boy replied, “I don hand am over to Falz bros.”
