Nigerian Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy has responded to recent claims made by Uju Stella, a woman who has accused him of fathering her child. Stella, who previously made headlines by alleging she had a three-year romantic relationship with Burna Boy, released a viral video in which she shared her side of the story. In the video, she claimed that Burna Boy’s mother, Bose Ogulu, was responsible for ending their relationship. The video quickly gained widespread attention, prompting the singer to publicly address the allegations on social media.
In his response, Burna Boy acknowledged that he knew Stella but gave a different perspective on their past relationship. He wrote on social media, “Meanwhile, this na one of the first people wey call me impotent o. And na N20k be her money that year normally of which I give am o.” This statement appeared to downplay the significance of their relationship, suggesting that the financial compensation Stella received during their time together was a standard arrangement. He further challenged others to confirm the details, writing, “Abeg enter this comment section if you this girl that year and confirm if I dey lie say na N20k be her money.”
Stella, who goes by the name Uju Stella, did not take Burna Boy’s remarks lightly. She took to social media to express her frustration, criticizing the artist for what she perceives as an attempt to trivialize their relationship. “Seriously, N20K?” Stella wrote in an impassioned post. “Let’s put things into perspective; I invested three years of my life with you and you’re reducing our relationship to a mere transaction. That is not just disrespectful, but it is pathetic!”
In her lengthy response, Stella further criticized Burna Boy for what she sees as his failure to evolve or mature despite his global fame. “After eight years, you have still not changed despite your accomplishments, you’re still that black big head Burna,” she said, referring to the singer by a nickname that hints at his public persona. Stella’s comments underscore her disappointment in how the singer has treated their past connection, which she claims was far more meaningful than Burna Boy’s dismissive remarks suggested.
Stella’s response shows her frustration with Burna Boy’s apparent disregard for the time they spent together. “You can’t buy class or respect, neither can you comprehend the worth of someone who has been by your side through thick and thin,” she added, clearly expressing her hurt over how she feels their relationship has been reduced to a financial transaction.
For his part, Burna Boy is yet to provide a more detailed public reply to Stella’s accusations. His initial response to the claims focused largely on dismissing her allegations as exaggerated, but Stella’s ongoing remarks suggest that tensions between the two are far from resolved. The situation has drawn significant attention on social media, with many fans and followers weighing in on both sides of the argument.
