In other news… Burna Boy, whose real name is Ebunoluwa Damini Ogulu, is taking legal action against X user Mirex Moses over a controversial tweet posted in 2025.
The tweet has resurfaced online claiming Burna Boy has more than a professional relationship with American artist Sean “Diddy” Combs, accusing Diddy of seeking inappropriate personal benefits from the Afrobeat star.
Burna Boy’s legal team called the post defamatory and gave Moses clear instructions on how to resolve the matter.
In a letter dated January 26, 2026, the singer’s lawyers demanded the immediate deletion of the tweet and asked Moses to confirm the deletion via a designated email. The legal notice gave him 48 hours to comply and warned that failure to comply would result in formal legal action.
The situation elicited mixed reactions from fans. Some have praised Burna Boy, popularly known as Odogwu, for defending his reputation and warned that such behavior can serve as a deterrent against online defamation. Others, however, compared his response to that of Nigerian star Wizkid, who faced similar false accusations without taking public legal action.
