Burna Boy splashes $1.5M on two wristwatches in one day

In the viral video showing the purchase of the luxury fashion accessories, the self-acclaimed African giant could be seen wearing two wristwatches on both his wrists as he smiled in apparent excitement.

The voice of someone who appears to be one of Burna’s aides could be heard in the background excitedly announcing the cost of the singer’s latest luxury acquisitions.

The voice of another man who appears to be a staff at the luxury store could be heard in the background telling the singer about some of the specifications of the wristwatches, saying one of the Richard Mille watches is a Bubba Watson and had a factory diamond to which Burna responded, “no aftermarket”, meaning it is a limited edition.

Speaking about the other Richard Mille watch, the voice explained to Burna that it is the Rafael Nadal RM35-03. He added that in the Rafael Nadal generation, Burna’s new acquisition is the fourth one made.

As the camera panned to the man sitting across the table from Burna, you could see he was rethinking his life after seeing how much the singer splashed on watches.

Further into the video, Burna could be seen trying to count how many Richard Mille watches he now owns while a voice in the background said “imagine losing count of how many Richard Mille you got.”

Burna eventually solved the arithmetic puzzle, concluding that he now owns seven Richard Mille watches, including the two he just purchased.

Burna is no stranger to stocking up on luxury items. In 2024, he bought a Rolls-Royce customized with diamond.

Recently Burna Boy fulfilled his promise of a $30,000 gift to Bethel Okechukwu who identified himself as a brother to socialite Cubana Chief Priest.

Amid the seeming rift with Cubana Chief Priest, Burn in less than 24 hours after making the promise, fulfilled it. An Instagram post shows the Grammy winner made good on the promise, eliciting joy and gratitude from the Okechukwu.

In the video, Okechukwu is seen thanking Burna for the kind gesture, stating that the singer has helped him escape poverty. The post read,

“God is real, Odogwu @burnaboygram, God has used you to pull me out from poverty. I will be forever grateful. Please, people, help me thank him for me,”

MTV Ends Its 40-Year Run of Music Channels

For decades, MTV was more than a broadcaster; it was a cultural beacon. It shaped how generations discovered music, trends, fashion, and youth identity.

Iconic moments from MTV Unplugged to debuting breakthrough videos became part of music history.

However, the company has taken a new direction by axing five of its major music channels.
MTV’s music channels have reportedly seen dwindling viewership in recent years – a declining trend that advertising revenue and budgets simply cannot ignore.

Paramount Global is reportedly seeking cost cuts of up to US$500 million across its portfolio. The merger with Skydance Media also exerts financial pressure to consolidate legacy operations.

A source told The UK Sun: “It’s a dark day for the music industry.

“MTV was once an industry powerhouse, but now it is a total shell of its former self.”

The decision reflects a broader truth: audiences no longer wait for music videos on TV

Streaming platforms, social media short clips, and on-demand video services now dominate how we consume music.

On social media platforms like X, the announcement has provoked waves of nostalgia. Many lament that younger generations will never know MTV’s formative power.

One fan wrote: “When I was a kid, I never thought I’d see the day MTV is gone .. RIP”

While the music channels are shutting down, MTV as a brand will live on through digital platforms, streaming, events, and perhaps new formats. Still, for many, the closing of those five music channels marks the end of a television era that once defined how the world experienced music together.

Paul Okoye vows legal action over defamatory allegations by X user

Nigerian music star, Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy of P-Square, has threatened legal action against a social media user who accused him of misconduct involving a domestic staff.

The controversy began after photos from the 25th birthday celebration of Rudeboy’s wife, Ivy Ifeoma, made the rounds on X (formerly Twitter).

An X user, @Zoyabloms, who identified as ‘Evil Feminist,’ mocked the couple’s age difference, while another user, @darkskinnedtemi, also identifying as a feminist, escalated the conversation with damaging claims.

The X user suggested cheating allegations on Rudeboy with his housemaid.

One account, identified as @chubbiedivah, alleged that the singer coerced their household help, suggesting she was underage at the time, further claiming he expelled his then-wife and sister-in-law after being confronted.

The post quickly caught the attention of Rudeboy’s fans, who drew his attention to it.

In a swift reaction, the “Reason With Me” hitmaker vowed to track down the user and hold them accountable.

He wrote, “I hardly reply, but you see this one @chubbiedivah, if you like go private or leave X, I will find you, I will use every necessary means, power, resources and money.

“You will face the law, I will use you to set an example, a scapegoat. Your only way out is to leave the surface of this earth and relocate to space. To everyone that brought my attention to her tweet, thank you.”

Following his response, the user in question deactivated both her X and Instagram accounts, seemingly in an attempt to avoid further fallout.
