Social media reacts to Burna Boy Cubana shooting scandal and it’s a doozy. Allegedly, Burna Boy and his crew shot a man and his friend six days ago, who were with a group of friends at the Cubana club because Burna Boy was rejected by one of the men’s wives.
According to Legit.ng, “it was reported that Burna Boy was hitting on one of the men’s wives [in the group] and it led to the singer’s police escort shooting at the club. The husband was one of the victims and he was reportedly hit on the thigh while another was grazed by the bullet on his head.” The two men who were shot go by Lawrence and Tolu, according to DailyPost.ng.
The wife of one of the victims, Steph Briella N., finally posted their story to their Instagram stories today (June 20th), which made Burna Boy and the story trend on Twitter. Steph Briella N.’s Instagram account is private, so I couldn’t link any additional information on her or her husband. Reporter David Hundeyin, the founder of West Africa Week, posted the screenshots of the victim’s story with the caption,
“Hi fake gangster/classroom idiot @burnaboy. Your day is coming. It won’t be me that will administer justice, because unlike you, I don’t pretend to be a gun slinging gangster. But when your day comes, you will remember I said this.”

Unfortunately, the Burna Boy Cubana shooting scandal isn’t the first time this Nigerian artist has been in the spotlight for controversial reasons. Legal.ng has reported on several other occasions, including some with Nigerian artist Davido, that involve fights, not paying people for their work, and more.
The Chairman of Cubana, Obi Cubana, spoke out today as well after Steph shared her story, insisting that Obi Cubana only reached out to [her and her friends] four days following the incident and is yet to release a Close Circuit TV footage or press statement on the issue, according to DailyPost.ng. “However, reacting to the incident, Obi Cubana, noted that the management has given every information to the legal authorities to “handle all. Obi Cubana also sympathized with “those who may have been impacted” by the incident.”
Fans React to Burna Boy Cubana Shooting Scandal
There are some fans who believe Burna Boy should be ashamed of himself, seek help, and be investigated as thoroughly as possible:
Burna Boy should be ashamed of himself in this case. Grown man that can’t handle rejection. He’s probably one of those guys that believed with money and status, anything you want, you can easily get it. This is a very cancerous belief among young men today that needs to go.

Burna needs help that I’m not sure his mom and current management team can provide.

Burna Boy has had a long time to clear himself or give his own side of the Cubana fracas since it broke days ago. Now the victim has finally spoken his supporters are still telling us to wait for his side of the story

Anyhow, thank God that @DavidHundeyin is actually talking about this Burna Boy issue. Because if you are going to get shot in a scuffle with any Nigerian artiste who isn’t Stereoman or African China, don’t expect Nigerians to give a shit.
Their faves have a license to do whatever— Olorugun (@Okkevwe) June 20, 2022
Burnaboy, our youths have very little to look up to & emulate. As an African giant, you wield power & influence & so ur attitude towards the incident is sad & condemnable. We must act better to deserve better. The police shld investigate thoroughly (if they are capable)@burnaboy

I just finished reading that David Hundeyin thread about Burna boy, so sad that sm1 who is using his music to speak against oppression is the one who is oppressing people in real life, most Nigerians don’t hate oppression, they just hate that they are not the one oppressing you

Burna should visit the family,apologise to the lady and her husband and they should forgive,and everyone should move on.Dragging the matter can turn muddy.He should know he is a cherished global brand for our country.

What Burnaboy did to that married woman is unreal and so traumatizing.. wtf I hope she’s okay. Burna needs to pay for his crime one way or the other… this ain’t even about bants… Justice needs to be served. African Giant my foot.

Police should launch a full investigation into the Burna boy’s gun incident inside Cubana club.
Cubana didn’t even released a statement, no CCTV footage & business continued without investigation?
Gun incident with victims can’t be swept under the carpet just like that.

Burna Boy is a good personification of black people not wanting slavery to end. They just want to handle the whip. Na d same Burna dey sing about police brutality, yet he is more brutal than the Police. Babe reject am and e almost kill 2 people ? https://t.co/Vm9jgUvQYI

This matter is not hard, cubana should produce the CCTV tapes or be shut down with immediate effect, the matter no hard, burna boy won’t try this outside, no regard for lives in their own country, but will come and be singing “we are the monsters you made”, this is disappointing https://t.co/o7OrW4PtYu

Other fans are defending their fav and passing judgment on Steph among other things:
story just get as e be
So no one out of over 20 person recorded a video of any of this .
Y’all nearly got killed and rather than going all out to fight burna legally you’re looking for remorse from him?
Burna might be famous but him money no reach to shut whole legal system

BURNA IS SO GREAT!!
As well as being a brilliant artist he is a humanitarian!! He is bringing the plight of Nigerian’s to the world’s notice and by doing so I am sure many other like minded people will become involved in trying to assist him in his cause!
I hope so ???????— Kathleen Hernandez (@Kathlee66877439) June 20, 2022
One FC said they should not allow Burna to release his album ??,
I tell you this guys don’t care about the shooting, they only want to see him fall but God Pass them.— Un spécial?? (@mhdsheriff) June 20, 2022
