Burna Boy made the comment in response to a Davido fan who labelled him a “ode” for recently losing four Grammys.
Commenting on a post on Burna Boy’s X handle, a Davido fan who used the DMW boss as his display photo wrote: “Ode, bottled four Grammys,” to which Burna Boy responded, “The actual joke is in your display pic.”
Burna Boy later deleted his comment after the fan changed his display picture from Davido to the ‘African Giant.’
Another fan attempted to troll the singer for deleting his comment but Burna Boy explained that he did that because the troll changed his display picture.
The fan wrote, “Burna Boy no fit stand on business? He fold?,” and Burna Boy replied: “You nor see say baba don change am put my picture? Na me be joke?”
Despite the singer deleting his comment, it has continued to receive backlash on social media, with many condemning the comment.
