Portable further questioned the City Boy crooner on why he has never replied to his DMs online or picked up any of his calls
He said:
“Burna Boy gave me 20 million naira but has refused to reply to my Dms. He’s not picking up my calls. Why are you stingy with replying me? I can finish 20 million naira in a day. But feature someone who has a future.”

“Efile Fun @burnaboygram 👑🌎 ODOWGU for a reason 99 advisers only one helper 🙏🙏🙏.”
