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.

“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.
