Looking at his past, Burna Boy is
normally in the news for two reasons; either his music or trouble. Once again
he made headlines this week but for the latter. It was reported that the singer
through one of his managers contracted the help of some young men to assault
fellow singer, Mr. 2kay.
Already the culprits are cooling
off at the police station but the whereabouts of the accused, Burna Boy, seems
to be unknown. Even though the police have declared him wanted, the singer has
still not honoured the invitation of the Nigerian Police.
In a chat with a source in the
singer’s camp, Saturday Beats learnt the singer is in Nigeria but is
preoccupied in the studio.
The source said, “Burna Boy is
neither on the run nor avoiding the police;
he is not guilty. I cannot tell you his exact whereabouts but he is in
the country recording. Also, you should know that as the festive season
approaches, demand for his services would be on the increase, so he is
preparing for appearances as well. Initially, when he was invited, he could not
go to the station because of his engagements, so his father went to the police
station in his stead. But now that the police have insisted that they want to
see him personally, he would surely honour their invitation. He is not guilty
of the charges levelled against him.”
Earlier in the week, a press
statement made available by the singer’s camp, Buki Hq, stressed that the
singer was innocent of the assault and robbery charge.
The statement read, “The
management of Burna Boy (Spaceship Entertainment) hereby makes an official
statement regarding the news that Burna Boy has been declared wanted by the
police. We use this medium to categorically state that Burna Boy is not in any
way involved in the robbery and beating up of Grafton Records artiste, Mr. 2Kay
on October 22, 2017.
“The first and only invitation
Burna Boy has ever received from the police was issued yesterday, November 20,
2017. This invitation was honoured yesterday, November 20, 2017 and it has been
made clear that he is happy to cooperate with the police as best as he can. It
is pertinent to note that he was served an arrest warrant. We are confident
that the Nigerian police will deal with this fairly and professionally.”
