The star’s aloofness on Instagram came to light as faced a backlash over his comment about his place in Nigeria’s musical pecking order.

On February 12, Burna Boy said: FACT! I always knew I was and I am THE BEST. Everyone you think is the best KNOWS I’m BEST since Fela Kuti. But @timayatimaya told me something a long time ago that made me not care about being the best. “The World can do without the Best” the world will still spin regardless”.

This has stirred controversy in Nigeria, with some critics slamming him for arrogance.

On Saturday, Burna Boy repeated his point in a series of tweets on 15 February, which he has now deleted.

“Remember I Told you I was the African Giant and most of you laughed and said I should be grateful for small fonts. I pray that you Learn from me, I mean this in no bragging way and the Wise know that the Future of Africa depends on the kind of strength and resilience i Show.

“You say “thank God he didn’t win”. Because I say the Truth? And because of your twisted Fake views on humility. Ive been out here With My Family since 2012 going through unspeakable things just to get here against ALL ODDS.

“I repeat. Nobody that is not Fela or My Family can EVER say they paved any way for me. Fuck you!”

Some Twitter reactions:

Burna better calm down and always keep his phone away from him whenever he’s trying a new weed because all these okoto ko neccestri, ko neccestri my dorling.

The last Burna Boy album title (African Giant) came from the small font Coachella controversy. Maybe this one about who “paved the way” will bring the title to another fire album. Maybe the next album will be titled “Road Map” or “Moral Compass” or “Julius Berger”. Energyyy!!
