Club brawl with Obafemi Martins
In march 2022, Obagoal became the topic of conversation online when indigenous rapper, CDQ, blasted Burna Boy for disrespecting the football star.
According to reports, Burna Boy engaged in combat in Lagos’ Bayrock Club with Obafemi Martins and CDQ.
Reports claim that Burna Boy confronted Obafemi Martins and demanded that the football player show him some respect, which sparked the altercation.
Hours later, a video showing the trio relaxing in the same VIP area surfaced, suggesting that the “fight” had apparently come to an end.
Longtime beef with Davido
Although the pair had been trading lyrical jabs from the vocal booth, they practically took their war to the streets of Ghana. In 2020, at a club in Ghana, the two got into a free-for-all brawl.
Steven Mingle, a bystander, claimed that Burna Boy entered the club and charged at Davido. Later, the African Giant and his boys were ordered to leave the area.
Online fight with AKA
In 2019, when xenophobic riots happened in the South African city of Johannesburg from September 1–5, resulting in the deaths of at least seven people, Burna Boy reacted to the attacks as Nigerians were also impacted.
This sparked outrage on social media as Burna Boy declared that he would boycott South Africa because his fellow Nigerians were being mistreated.
Burna Boy targeted AKA in a series of tweets during the xenophobic attacks for his stance on the attacks against Nigerians in South Africa.
Although they have a record together ― All Eyes on Me ― Burna Boy, in one of his several tweets, threatened to ‘deal’ with the South African rapper when next their paths crossed.
He wrote, “And @akaworldwide I knew you was retarded but I didn’t know it had gotten this bad. Next time I see you, you better have a big security bro, On Gambos Grave ur gunna need it.” (sic)
Burna Boy further narrated how he suffered a xenophobic attack in South Africa in 2017.
“I personally have had my own xenophobic experiences at the hands of South Africans and because of that, I have not set foot in SA since 2017. And I will NOT EVER go to South Africa again for any reason until the SOUTH AFRICAN government wakes the fuck up and really performs A miracle because I don’t know how they can even possibly fix this,” he wrote.
Physical assault on Mr 2kay
Their feud began in October 2017 when Mr 2Kay reacted to Burna Boy’s negative remarks regarding Nigerian pastors. According to Mr. 2kay, Burna Boy should not have slandered pastors since they are anointed men of God. He made this observation during an interview.
His remarks did not sit well with Burna Boy who allegedly threatened him. “You better have that energy when I come for you because I’m coming for you,” he allegedly threatened.
On, October 22, 2017, Tubaba and Tiwa Savage headlined Buckwyld ‘n’ Breathless at Eko Hotel & Suites where Mr 2Kay performed.
After his performance, he went to his room at the hotel where he was attacked and robbed. Most of his possessions were gone and he was left with bruises. The case was reported to the police by the hotel management.
The police arrested four suspects including the road manager of Burna boy, Joel. During interrogation, the robbers confessed that they were hired by Burna Boy through his manager.
On November 20, 2017, the police announced that Burna Boy was wanted for questioning over Mr 2Kay’s robbery incident.
The singer later honoured the police invitation. So far, it seems the case has been settled.

He wrote, “God punish all of you who disrespect the name of music by releasing d noisy wackness being released these days. Death is d least yu deserve.”
Many believed his tweet was directed at Tonto Dikeh, even though the singer did not mention any names.
On October 21, 2012, Burna Boy fell on stage in the middle of his performance at the Hip Hop World Awards.
