A Nigerian journalist, Kachi Offiah, has berated
Grammy-award winning Nigerian singer, Burna Boy for “snubbing” her the 2023 Met
Gala in New York.
Recall that Burna Boy made his debut at the world’s most
prestigious and glamorous fashion event, Met Gala on May 1, 2023.
Offiah said she was the only Nigerian reporter at the event
but when she approached the Nigerian superstar for an interview, she was
“snubbed” by the singer.
She disclosed this on Arise 360 music programme recently.
She said, “I’m not gonna lie, at that very moment [after
Burna Boy’s snub] I was gonna cry. First of all, I tell you why, I looked hello
stupid calling this man Odogwu [laughs]. And then he just walked right pass me
like I was some crazy lady from Africa that doesn’t understand who he was.
“I’m sure people were probably thinking, who in the world is
odogwu?”
However, in the video clip, Burna Boy smiled at her when she
requested to interview him.
Burna Boy said, “Honestly, I have got to go.”
After the singer walked away, the journalist said to the
camera, “Guys, we got to remember this one, Burna Boy really snubbed Nigeria
like don’t forget that.”
