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,”

Nigerian music icon Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has disclosed that he and his wife, Annie Macaulay-Idibia, are separated and awaiting divorce.

The Afrobeats legend announced the development in a post on his verified Instagram account on Sunday, January 26, 2025.

In the post, 2Baba confirmed that the duo had been separated for a while and recently filed a divorce.

The musician promised to issue a statement soon to tell his side of the story to his beloved fans, whom he said deserve to know what has transpired between him and his estranged wife.

“Hello to my beautiful people of all FEDERATIONS,” he wrote.

“WELL THIS THING I HAVE TO SAY IS SHORT BUT ALSO LONG…. I AND ANNIE MACAULAY HAVE BEEN SEPARATED FOR A WHILE NOW. AND CURRENTLY FILED DIVORCE…

I WOULD GRANT A PRESS RELEASE SOON TO SAY MY STORY..NOT BECAUSE IT IS ANYONE’S RIGHT TO KNOW ABOUT MY PERSONAL LIFE; BUT BECAUSE I LOVE MY PEOPLE AND I NEED THEM TO KNOW MY INNOCENCE OR OFFENSE.

“STAY BLESSED MY PEOPLE. I LOVE YOU ALL,” 2Baba concluded

On January 26, 2024, when 2Baba was announced, Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa expressed her outrage and disappointment in his comment section, stressing that she was on Annie’s side.

She wrote, “This is wrong on all levels, and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing this here. Bring it on; if you think she’s all alone, let me tell you that you’ll have to fight us all here.”

I’m not one for too much talk, but what is wrong is wrong, and as a woman, if you sit on the fence on this one, if it misses you, it’ll touch your daughter or any female in your family. No one is innocent, and if you want to bring the media into it knowing what is happening, we will fight for her,” she added in another Instagram story post.

First, they groom you, then you lose yourself, and then they dump you. I am so angry! I never involve myself with things like this, but this is disgusting behavior by this man. In the time when this woman was being bashed, you had to say this? Knowing you constantly humiliated her publicity since I was 18 years old? Why now? Why heap more fire on her reputation? Never, ever, ever choose a man over yourself. No one is indispensable! Gosh
