- Burna Boy, has stirred online discussions with a social media post that appears to target Wizkid.
- The context of Burna Boy’s comments follows reports of difficulties faced by Wizkid during his “Morayo” tour.
- Wizkid’s tour has seen multiple cancellations of performances at major venues, including Madison Square Garden and State Farm Arena.
Nigerian music sensation Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has sparked online conversation after seemingly taking a dig at fellow artist Wizkid via social media.
This comes in the wake of reports from May 8, 2025, that Wizkid’s “Morayo” tour encountered major hurdles. Several scheduled performances, including shows at prominent venues such as Madison Square Garden and the State Farm Arena, were reportedly canceled due to low ticket sales.
The cancellations quickly became a trending topic online, with fans and critics offering mixed opinions. While some defended the singer, others argued that Wizkid may not have put enough effort into promoting the tour compared to his industry peers.
In the midst of the discussions, Burna Boy shared a cryptic message on his Snapchat story that drew widespread attention. The Grammy-winning artist wrote about how many aspire to emulate his success, unaware of the level of dedication and effort it demands—an apparent reference that fans interpreted as a subtle jab.
He wrote:
“Everybody wants your spot until they see the work it takes to be in that spot.”
