Burna Boy announces he’s leaving social media

Nigerian Singer Burna Boy has announced that he would be leaving social media and that his accounts will now be run by his management.

This announcement could be linked to his recent spat on social media after a Twitter user called him out for his comment on streaming numbers which appeared like he was shading other afrobeat artistes.

The Twitter user wrote “Burna Boy is overrated”
“Burna Boy needs to blow”
This was y’all in 2018.
First he pisses on you all. Calls you “backward unprogressive fools”.
Then disrespects Tiwa
And now Mayorkun.
Man is clearly messed up.
You people hyped a wallgecko he started to think he’s a crocodile.

In response, the singer shared series of tweets :

Lol. Nice comedy. But really If I wanted to call out someone. It won’t be on twitter or Instagram, I’m more of the real life type. I State Facts, I don’t expect people like you to understand cuZ I do not speak unless it’s the TRUTH and I know ur not used to that so I get it.

FYI Hype is NOT what got me here neither is is what will keep me here. Same ppl that hail you will tear you down so it never mAttered to me. I just do what’s true to me that’s all. “Overrate or Underrate” doesn’t change shit! Truth needs no validation from ignorance.

BTW anyone that thinks I just “Blew” last year. NewsFlash – I been HOT since 2012 NON STOP! Doing it ALL. Touring, getting Money, TREND setting, Big Billboards for ur favourite brands, Feeding as many as I can on the streets and ALL. E.T.C. – AFRICAN GIANT no be mouth.

BurnaBoy has now decided to leave his social media interactions to his management.
