Married Lady Recounts Traumatizing Experience With Burner Boy At Cubana Nightclub

Nigerian afro-beats star Burna Boy sat atop today’s Twitter trends after a married lady recounted how accomplices of the 20 10 20 singer attacked her and her friends at the club after she severally rejected his inappropriate advances.

The married lady named Briella Neme took to her Instagram story to share what transpired between herself and Burna Boy. She revealed that the incident which has left her traumatized occurred on the 8th of June at the famous Victoria Island nightclub, Cuba owned and run by popular businessman Obi Cubana.

Briella recounted that she and her friends had traveled from America and London for a friend’s wedding in Lagos and later converged at the popular nightclub for some more fun. In the company of her husband and other friends, Briella narrated how she was approached by one of Burna’s bodyguards who told her that Burna sought her attention at his side of the VIP section to which she politely refused, noting that she was married and with her husband.

Regardless, Burna’s guard was adamant, she said, as he approached her a second and then a third time with the same request. Soon Briella and her friends became infuriated with the inappropriate advances which triggered a brawl that later turned deadly to their shock. Though security stepped in to quell the fight, the whole incident turned deadly after Burna’s guards opened fire at the club shooting two of her friends who were lucky to escape with their lives.

Briella concluded her writing by noting that there was no action from Cubana’s management to address the situation either. She expressed disdain at Burna’s remorseful reaction to the incident she said could have claimed the lives of her friends.

Read Briella’s full post below;

“We were visiting Nigeria from America and London for our childhood friend’s wedding. On the 8th of June 2022, @burnaboygram & his friends opened fire at us in @cubanalagos. My partner and his friend were shot, with both needing urgent medical care. A bullet grazed my partner’s head and our friend was shot in the thigh, leaving him hospitalised and needing an emergency surgery in Nigeria.”

“As the night progressed, one of Burna Boy’s friends walked to talk to me, his request was for Burna Boy to talk to me. On that first attempt, I told him I wasn’t interested in talking to Burna Boy and I am married to my partner. He came again the second time and was met with the same response.”

“He came the third time and that caused a few of our friends to flare up as they asked why he kept coming to disturb me. There were words back and forth and one of Burna Boy’s friends attacked one of our friends, and as they attacked him, the situation degenerated into a fight.”

“At this point, I couldn’t find my partner or my best friend. I was screaming for help after being lifted and thrown so hard on the floor by one of Burna’s friends and I hurt my left shoulder. All our private police officers were not allowed into the club, so it was left to us to fight for our lives. One of our friends @theflowolf was trying to get Burna Boy to calm the situation but he only laughed at him and proceeded to get in his car whilst being protected by his security.”

“The shootings happened twice at different times. His friends were also shooting at people trying to evacuate the club through the main entrance. They were out to kill and didn’t care who got hit. My partner’s head was bleeding profusely and his friend lost so much blood he needed a donor As soon as he got to the hospital.”

“@burnaboygram left @cubanalagos without a scratch and flew out to Spain the next morning.”

“@obi_cubana only reached out to us four days after the event claiming he had no idea and would do everything to get us justice for attempted murder. 11 days later, there has been no CCTV footage released by the club OR even a statement to address the incident publicly. Business has carried on as usual for him.”

“To sum things up, I’m traumatised. I’ve broken down every day since then. The random flashbacks and nightmares. Especially after seeing @burnaboygram’s response. The lack of remorse or accountability is beyond me. At least two people could’ve died that night.”

It would be recalled that the police arrested some of their men attached to Burna Boy after the incident occurred. Others who witnessed the incident also took to social media to recount their side of the story.

Burna Boy responded to the allegations from Spain, tweeting;

“Nigerian Social media can say BURNA BOY started Boko haram, e no go shock me.”

The fresh revelations from Briella Neme saw Burna come under fresh fire on social media. Many Nigerians have described Burna’s actions as hypocritical referencing his criticism of police brutality and saying that he’s no different from them.

Davido gifts personal assistant Lati Range Rover as birthday gift

Afrobeats superstar Davido has once again shown love to those in his inner circle by gifting his longtime personal assistant and close friend, Lati Biola, a brand-new Range Rover as a birthday present.

The heartwarming gesture comes as no surprise to fans familiar with the duo’s long-standing friendship, which dates back to Davido’s childhood. Lati, who served as Davido’s best man during the singer’s high-profile wedding to Chioma in June 2024, has remained a constant in the artist’s journey, both professionally and personally.

In the early hours of June 25, 2025, Davido took to Instagram to celebrate his best bud, tagging him as his ‘favourite person’ and posting pictures from the birthday dinner and clubbing. He also posted the keys to the luxury vehicle with the caption, “Love you my brother, enjoy new keys from your boy.”

It is worth noting that this is far from the first time Davido has gifted Lati a car. In 2019, Lati revealed that the singer was so generous that he gifted him a new red Benz worth ₦70 million.

Why I stopped womanising – Daniel Etim-Effiong confesses

Nollywood actor Daniel Etim-Effiong has opened up about his past as a womaniser, admitting that while it was a short-lived phase in his life, it was a significant learning experience, one he now warns young men against repeating.

In a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the movie star admitted to dating multiple women simultaneously in his younger years.

Maybe there was a time in my life I was a womaniser. Definitions would differ, but in that definition, maybe there was a period in my life that I was, I wouldn’t say for long periods of my life. Maybe for certain periods that I explored. So, perhaps.

He described those moments as “periods of learning”. Still, he emphasised that such a lifestyle can lead to long-term consequences, especially for those looking to build stable relationships or marriages later in life.

es, they were periods of learning for me. If I learned, then they were good periods. I learned that certain things don’t necessarily bring you the fulfilment that you think they would. On paper, it feels like that is the life, but in experientially maybe not.

He urged young people to avoid developing habits they wouldn’t want to carry into marriage, warning that commitment is a muscle that must be built.

I tell young people a lot that it is cool to be a player but if you develop that habit or lifestyle, you won’t automatically change overnight. So, don’t develop something you don’t want to continue for the rest of your life. If you are not able to commit to one person, if you jump from one relationship to another, that won’t automatically change when you marry.

When you marry that muscle hasn’t been developed so you encounter one challenge and you want to immediately jump or you just be like, ‘I’m talking to you; you are not listening to me, let me find somebody that would listen to me.

If you are the kind of person who, before you got married, it was easy for you to just walk away, keep different relationships, keep ladies on the string, that won’t change when you get married.
