Burna Boy vs Davido: Odogwu Called Out for Deleting Birthday Photo That Had OBO’s Album Symbol

• Nigerian international superstar Burna Boy’s 34th birthday celebration has been embroiled in controversy
• The Afro-fusion star celebrated his new age on Wednesday, July 2, and the party was filled with family and friends
• However, the birthday post made on Instagram attracted attention after he was accused of deleting his photo because of his rival, Davido

Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Damini Ogulu aka Burna Boy has been called out by netizens amid his 34th birthday celebration.

The Grammy-winning singer took fans on a nostalgic journey with an endearing throwback picture from his fifth birthday.

Netizens noted that the City Boy crooner first shared a photo of his birthday cake with the symbol of 5 on it, while posing with his sisters.

It didn't take long before the post was deleted and replaced with a similar image, although this time the figure appeared to have been edited out.

The beautiful image depicted a young Burna flanked by his two sisters, both dressed in lovely retro outfits, with the birthday boy smiling proudly behind a cake.

The slight change in the picture ignited reactions online as many claimed that he didn’t want to indirectly promote his rival Davido’s recent album, 5ive.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the Recording Academy, which organises the renowned Grammy Awards, caused intense outrage on the Nigerian cyberspace following a recent publication.

A debate was ignited on the academy's official X page as they analysed the growth of the Afrobeats genre and mentioned their top three artists, triggering reactions.

In the same tweet, the Recording Academy discussed how Afrobeats gained popularity in the mid-2010s, as well as their top 10 tracks, which range from 2Baba's African Queen to Rema's Ozeba. In the tweet, the Grammys identified Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Rema as the best three musicians in the Afrobeats music genre from 2010 to present.
