After he was attacked on social media by celebrated abroad-based comedian, Wale Gates, fast-rising Nigerian music artiste, Burna Boy, has replied him, and apparently from the wrong side.

The singer had written, “My attitude right now. F*ck an award, I got yo rent on my neck. #ignorant as f*ck.”

Wale Gates, when he reacted to the singer's outburst and choice of words online, had written, “These young naija artistes have terrible advisers. The only time you should have 'Someone's rent on your neck' is if you own the house you live in.”

It became apparent that the comedian's response did not go down well with the young singer, who did not mince words in lambasting the humour merchant.

He wrote, “Sorry it's @walegates. I heard you still love with your mama. No wonder you fit advice for niggaz and shit. Lol I'm a landlord nigga do your research. We good over here. Thanks for caring tho. Btw preview of my new single for my real folks out there. F*ck this nigga.”

Whether this 'war' would degenerate into something bigger is what we cannot say, but it seems the battle line has been drawn already.

Sorry it's @walegates. I heard u still love wit ur mama. No wonder u fit advice for niggaz n shit. Lol I'm a landlord nigga do ur research. We good over here. Thanks for caring tho. Btw preview of my new single for my real folks out there. Fuck this nigga
