Rumors started swirling that the Nigerian singer-songwriter, Peruzzi, had been involved in writing songs for the Afrobeat sensation, Burna Boy.
During an interview with one of his supporters, who had initially claimed authorship of Burna Boy’s popular track, Peruzzi faced criticism for allegedly collaborating with other songwriters.
While fans praised his lyrical prowess, the supporter voiced concerns and even threatened to prevent Peruzzi from writing songs for Burna Boy, accusing him of routinely appropriating songs from other musicians.
Peruzzi swiftly responded to refute these allegations, maintaining that he had not been involved in the composition of any of Burna Boy’s hit songs.
Nigerian singer, Burna Boy, has taken to social media to question numerous social media tabloids, inquiring how much he should offer them to ensure they completely stop covering news related to him.

“How far. all these instablog, PulseNg e.t.c abeg make all of una do meeting then decide how much I go give all of una make una forget my name totally. I know say I never pay any of una before so I say make I just run am finally. I greet you bros!!”

This incident occurred during a performance of what appears to be a freestyle or new song by the renowned Afrobeats artist.
