Grammy: Burna Boy denies receiving gift from Wike

By Taiwo Okanlawon

Grammy-winning singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, says no politician in Nigeria has ever given him anything.

In a statement on his X handle on Thursday, the singer suggested that the ex-Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State didn’t fulfill his promise to him after he won the Grammy.

Wike had in 2021 announced he would give a plot of land and cash to Burna Boy as appreciation for winning the Grammy Award.

This came after Rivers state organized a homecoming ceremony for Burna Boy after his album ‘ Twice as Tall’ won Best Global Music Album category.

However, Burna Boy, in the post, said: “No politician has ever given anything. Go ask wike where the land him give me or which money him give me. You think I’m your faves.”
