Nigerian businessman and socialite Cubana Chief Priest has spoken about his strained relationship with Afrobeats star Burna Boy, alleging that the singer publicly came after him because of his close ties to Davido.
Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, the nightlife entrepreneur reflected on his rise to success, saying his journey began with apprenticeship and years of dedication.
According to him, achieving fame and financial success often attracts criticism and resentment from others.
“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you,” he said.
Prompt News reports Cubana Chief Priest alleged that Burna Boy used his platform to attack his wealth and reputation.
“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.
“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he added.
