Burna Boy Publicly Attacked My Wealth – Cubana Chief Priest Opens Up On Rift With Singer 

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

Nigerian socialite and nightlifer Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has revealed the cause of his rift with Burna Boy.

Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, the socialite recounted his journey from being an apprentice into acquiring wealth, noting how success attracts enemies and hate.

He also delved into his public feud with Burna Boy, stating that the singer attacked him unprovoked. He pointed out how his source of wealth was directly attacked by the singer, alluding it to his relationship with his colleague, Davido.

Cubana Chief Priest further expressed his love for Davido, declaring him as a strong friend and constant supporter of his endeavours.

He said:
"Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.

"I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.

“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,”

"David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.

“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can."
