Burna Boy was nominated for Best African Music Performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, alongside Tems, Asake, and Wizkid. However, Tems took home the award, leaving Burna Boy empty-handed.
Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest took to his Instagram story to mock Burna Boy’s loss. He made a remark about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ imprisonment, joking that if Diddy were not in prison, Tems’ Grammy win would have been denied.
Cubana Chief Priest’s comment was likely a reference to Burna Boy’s ties to Diddy, who was arrested by the FBI on multiple charges. Burna Boy has faced ridicule in the past for his association with Diddy.
The jab from Cubana Chief Priest adds to the ongoing rivalries and tensions within the Nigerian music industry. It remains to be seen how Burna Boy will respond to the mocking comment.
