Lawyer Deji Adeyanju is calling out Burna Boy for gifting $30,000 to someone claimed to be Cubana Chief Priest’s brother, allegedly to spite the socialite after an online clash. However, Cubana Chief Priest has denied the man’s relation to him. Deji Adeyanju criticized Burna Boy, suggesting that he should prioritize helping his own extended family members who are struggling instead of trying to prove a point.
It’s worth noting that Burna Boy comes from a supportive family. His mother, Bose Ogulu, is his manager and co-founded the record label Spaceship Collective with him. His siblings, Nissi and Ronami Ogulu, are also involved in the music and fashion industries, respectively. Perhaps Deji Adeyanju’s comment was meant to encourage Burna Boy to focus on his own family’s well-being.
He wrote …
“The person that gave $30k for clout has more poor people in his extended family than those in Chief Priest’s family. And the guy is not even Chief Priest’s brother. But assuming he’s even his brother, do you know why he has refused to help him? Giving money to some folks is waste”
Reactions have followed…
@omoopee said: “Helping others should never be reduced to clout-chasing. A $30k gift to change someone’s life is a sign of generosity and a heart for impact. Instead of tearing others down, focus on the bigger picture, uplifting people creates opportunities for growth, even if not all succeed.”
@mummy_z523 said: “We preach be your brother’s keeper,rise by lifting others; charity ;kindness but when is family it becomes entitlement?I think is just SM cos in Africa we take care of our own. One blessed member is enough for an entire family. Abi ‘family first ‘is now Wife and kids only?”
