Nigerian singer Mr 2kay, has revealed that he no longer bears any grudge against Burna Boy who allegedly sent thugs to attack him.
Recall that in 2017, Burna Boy had allegedly sent thugs to attack Mr 2Kay at Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
In a recent interview with The Punch, the singer said,
“The incident happened about four years ago. We went back and forth on the case for some time.
At some point, the guys who carried out the attack were arrested and they were locked up for over two years. Their parents and Burna Boy’s people kept begging. At the end of the day, I decided to withdraw the case out of court.
A lot of people that I respect, including my godfather (Tonye Princewill), and kinsmen reached out to me. I listened to those people and withdrew the case.”
He also added that the Grammy Nominated singer reached out to him severally after the incident to apologise.

“Yes, he reached out to me (to apologise) when the case was very ‘hot’. He actually called me, though that part was never put out in the public. It was quite a long conversation and he apologised,” he said.
When asked what caused the spat between them, Mr 2kay said,
“I cannot really give you all the details. To be honest with you, I have taken my mind off it because at some point, it was affecting with me mentally.
Whenever I heard doors opening or I saw people with guns, flashes of the incident came back to me. However, I think it all started from an interview when a journalist asked me a question and I answered. But, he (Burna Boy) did not get it the right way. He flared up and it led to something else. We then exchanged some messages on social media before the incident happened.”
