Popular Nigerian music star, Damini Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, has once again captured the spotlight, this time with an appearance that has left fans buzzing in Lagos.
The Grammy-winning artist made a stylish entrance to a party alongside American singer Chloe Bailey, sparking widespread speculation about the nature of their relationship.
The duo, both dressed in matching black outfits, caused a stir as they arrived at the event, with their undeniable chemistry immediately apparent.
As they partied into the night, the pair was seen at another gathering where Bailey wore a luxurious diamond chain inscribed with ‘ODG,’ Burna Boy’s personal brand.
The sight of the two sharing the dance floor only fueled speculation that their relationship could be more than just professional.
Bailey, who is known for her music career as part of the duo Chloe x Halle, appeared to be enjoying herself in the Nigerian capital, further fueling the rumors of a romance between the two musicians.
However, the speculation did not go unnoticed by Burna Boy’s ex-girlfriend, British rapper Stefflon Don. In the wake of the rumors, Stefflon Don reportedly shared nostalgic videos from their past relationship, including moments where Burna Boy gifted her a Rolls Royce.
Despite the apparent rekindling of old memories, Stefflon Don’s friend, Empress, quickly shut down the rumors on social media, posting a comment that read, “You people know nothing at all. So it’s so laughable,” which only added fuel to the fire.
The speculation surrounding the pair intensified as Empress posted more photos from their Dubai vacation, suggesting that the controversy was far from over.
Interestingly, Burna Boy’s generosity was not limited to Bailey. Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti also received a lavish gift from the ‘City Boy’ crooner during their time at the club.
Kuti shared a picture of a new exotic neckpiece, thanking Burna Boy for the thoughtful gesture. In his Instagram post, Kuti expressed his gratitude, writing, “From @burnaboygram with love. We actually met properly for the first time and Odogwu send gift. Thanks bro. Big love.”
While Burna Boy was making waves in the party scene, he also found himself at the center of a controversy involving fellow artist Speed Darlington.
The Nigerian-American singer was arrested in connection with Burna Boy’s petition accusing him of defamation and cyberstalking.
Speed Darlington had made a video suggesting that Burna Boy’s association with American rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs might indicate a romantic relationship between them.
In response to the arrest, Nigerian lawyer and activist David Adeyanju took to social media, criticizing Burna Boy’s actions.
On December 18, Adeyanju posted on X (formerly Twitter), calling Burna Boy a “hypocrite” and condemning the artist for allegedly using the police to silence Speed Darlington over his comments.
Adeyanju’s criticism points to the wider implications of celebrity power and its impact on the legal system, with many supporters rallying behind the activist’s stance.
As Burna Boy continues to dominate the entertainment scene, the combination of romance rumors, luxury gifts, and the ongoing legal drama makes it clear that the artist’s life is just as eventful off-stage as it is on.
Whether the relationship with Chloe Bailey will evolve further remains to be seen, but for now, Burna Boy’s public and private lives continue to captivate his audience.
