Nigerian celebrity barman and businessman Okechukwu Pascal, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has stirred social media reactions after taking a swipe at Grammy-winning artiste Burna Boy while praising Davido as the true “father of Afrobeats.”

In an Instagram post shared after Davido’s concert in Uyo, Cubana Chief Priest expressed gratitude to the singer for allowing him to share the stage, calling the moment a highlight of his career.

He wrote:

“Chief Priest don do stadium. Dem sabi my gbedu well well for Uyo. From today onwards, Akwa Ibom has my fat heart. @davido, without you, Afrobeats is a bastard. 001 for a reason — the papa of Afrobeats.”

His post quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions from fans. When one user commented, “Burna Boy, you for leave CP ooo,” Cubana replied with a jab, saying, “The bingo go cry.”

The remark reignited his ongoing rift with Burna Boy, which reportedly began after the singer’s alleged involvement in a controversy surrounding Helen, a woman linked to Cubana Chief Priest.

Meanwhile, Burna Boy recently shared the inspiration behind his stage name during a chat with tennis legend Roger Federer.

The Afro-fusion star revealed that the name “Burna Boy” originated from his childhood fascination with comic books and superheroes. He explained that he used to create and sketch his own superhero characters, imagining himself as one with powers related to fire, which eventually inspired his now-iconic stage name.
