The latest controversy involving Nigerian superstar, Burna Boy, and two baddies, Socialite Sophia Egbueje and influencer Ama Reginald has taken over the internet.
In fact, it is safe to say that it is the most talked about controversy at the moment.
Well, while many struggle to play judge, we would like to take you beneath the surface.
The big question now is, what can we learn from this latest development.
You see, there are so many lessons we can learn from this story, especially as it involves celebrities who are often looked up to by many.
Now, before we get down to it, what really happened?
How did this banter really start.
Fasten your seatbelt, its about to get bumpy.
It all started with an audio clip.
What happened in the secret was exposed and brought to the public.
Burna Boy Vs Sophia
Reports claim that Sophia and Reginald allegedly fought over the City Boy hitmaker after a leaked audio tape of her discussion with the singer went viral online.
Sophia expressed her disappointment with Ama in the leaked audio and accused her of betraying her.
Sophia claimed that Ama urged her to go into a relationship with Burna Boy, but she was later spotted going out with him and his alleged new girlfriend, Chloe Bailey.
The Lagos socialite disclosed that she decided to give Burna Boy a chance because he had promised to purchase her a Lamborghini truck and other pricey gifts.
But when he didn’t live up to his promises, she said she blocked him after purchasing the automobile with her own money, but she expected Ama and her boyfriend Manny, who is Burna’s PA, to talk to the musician on her behalf.
In the recording, Sophia recounted how Ama persuaded her to take Burna Boy seriously, saying:
“She is like, ‘Babe, you should take him seriously. You know it’s him that bought Stefflon Don Cullinan. He actually spends money on girls. Just try and take him seriously.”

She added that after confiding in Ama about getting a fancy watch of her own, she discovered that Burna Boy had given Chloe a similar one.
“I bought my watch and knew the person that bought my watch. I don’t know if she went to tell Manny because I’m wondering why Burna bought Chloe a watch when I bought my watch,” she stated.
Beneath The Surface
While Burna remains silent over the issue, there are few things we would like to share.
We have taken our time to go through the reactions by many Nigerians.
Many, particularly the male folks, hail Burna Boy for what they describe as bravery.
Wow, a man lies his way to a woman’s pant, and is hailed as a hero.
Whatever happened to the dignity and self respect we pride ourselves in as Africans, or the moral values we claim we have.
This also has alot to do with trust. Do you think Burna boy deserves people’s trust after this?
Listen, we are not justifying the baddie who seeks to use her body as a means of living a flashy lifestyle. However, we should always remember that our actions have not just consequences, but impact.
