Burna Boy faces Twitter backlash after suggesting that Nigerians deserve bad leaders

Burna Boy blasts Nigerian youths for not having the same energy they used to call out celebrities like Funke Akindele for politicians who steal public funds.

Music star Burna Boy has again drawn the ire of Nigerians on Twitter after he said that they deserve bad leaders.

While reacting to the news of a fire outbreak at the office of the Accountant General of Nigeria, Burna said that he believed the outbreak was to cover up alleged financial appropriation and hit at Nigerians for not criticising their leaders enough.

The 28-year-old further referenced Funke Akindele who was called out on Twitter for hosting a house party during government-ordered lockdown to curb the spread of the coronavirus before she was arrested and charged to court.

Burna hit out at Nigerian youths for not having the same energy with which they called out Akindele for their leaders.

Burna is not new to this. The musician recently revealed that he won’t be making personal comments on Twitter after he faced heavy clash due to some comments he made during a question and answer session.
