Aloma DMW, a close associate of Nigerian superstar Davido, has stirred up social media with a controversial statement targeting Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy. In a now-viral post, Aloma accused Burna Boy of displaying pride after allegedly benefiting from Davido’s support.
In the tweet, Aloma recounted how he personally facilitated Burna Boy’s meeting with Davido, whom he refers to as “001,” a nod to Davido’s status in the industry. According to him, Davido extended his generosity to Burna Boy, which contributed to the latter’s rise to prominence. However, Aloma expressed disappointment, claiming that Burna Boy, now a global star, has developed an air of arrogance.
“Burna Boy wey I carry go meet Davido, 001 help am finish, he don dey touch money wey 001 don dey touch since 2016. Pride don enter,” Aloma lamented. He concluded by saying, “No be why I no blame people wey no dey help,” suggesting that instances like this discourage people from offering assistance to others.
The tweet has sparked a heated debate on social media, with fans of both artists weighing in. Supporters of Burna Boy dismissed Aloma’s claims, arguing that Burna Boy’s success is a result of his hard work and unique artistry. They accused Aloma of trying to undermine Burna’s achievements by attributing them to Davido’s influence.
On the other hand, Davido’s fans praised Aloma for speaking up and accused Burna Boy of failing to acknowledge the role Davido played in his career. Many used the opportunity to highlight Davido’s generosity and willingness to support other artists.
Neither Burna Boy nor Davido has responded to the allegations, but the conversation has reignited discussions about the dynamics of the Nigerian music industry, particularly issues of pride, gratitude, and collaboration among artists.
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: the rivalry between Burna Boy and Davido’s camps continues to capture public attention, keeping fans and critics alike invested in the unfolding drama.
