Lawyer Deji Adeyanju criticizes Burna Boy after the singer gifted $30K to an individual claimed to be the alleged brother of socialite Cubana Chief Priest.
This gesture followed an online dispute between Burna Boy and the socialite, during which Burna gave the money to mock Chief Priest.
In response, Adeyanju pointed out that while Burna Boy made the generous donation, many in the singer’s extended family may still be struggling financially.
Cubana Chief Priest had earlier clarified that the recipient of the $30K is not a direct relative, but the incident has continued to spark widespread reactions online.
He wrote …
“The person that gave $30k for clout has more poor people in his extended family than those in Chief Priest’s family. And the guy is not even Chief Priest’s brother. But assuming he’s even his brother, do you know why he has refused to help him? Giving money to some folks is waste”
Reactions have followed…
@omoopee said: “Helping others should never be reduced to clout-chasing. A $30k gift to change someone’s life is a sign of generosity and a heart for impact. Instead of tearing others down, focus on the bigger picture, uplifting people creates opportunities for growth, even if not all succeed.”
@mummy_z523 said: “We preach be your brother’s keeper,rise by lifting others; charity ;kindness but when is family it becomes entitlement?I think is just SM cos in Africa we take care of our own. One blessed member is enough for an entire family. Abi ‘family first ‘is now Wife and kids only?”
