Embattled Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly called Burna Boy, has finally broken his silence following reports of a man landing in the hospital after being shot by the artiste’s police escort.
Recall some days back, a police officer attached to Burna Boy shot two persons at Club Cubana in Lagos.
According to a preliminary report by the Bar Beach Police Division, trouble started when the singer and five police escorts visited the nightclub around 4am on June 8.

About four policemen waited outside while one of the policemen, identified as Inspector Ibrahim, who was in mufti, accompanied the Grammy-Award-winning artiste into the club.
According to multiple witness statements, the singer was in the VIP section with three women when he spotted another woman.
He was reported to have told Ibrahim to invite the woman to join him.
However, the lady’s husband was said to have lambasted the singer, insisting that it was disrespectful for any man to make advances at his wife.
After some minutes, Burna Boy reportedly made fresh advances at the woman. This infuriated her husband further and his friends who had gathered at the club.
In the process, 27-year-old Lawrence was shot in the thigh while his friend, Tolu, was hit in the head by a bullet. This caused a commotion in the club.
After sensing the danger, Burna Boy and his crew then drove off to one of his properties at the Elegushi end of the Lekki-Epe Expressway before leaving for Lekki Phase 1, PUNCH reported.
However, in a Twitter post on Wednesday, the Grammy award winning singer said that he is not shocked by the social media space in Nigeria.
