Dancehall singer Burna Boy has been in the news lately for the assault on fellow singer Mr 2Kay. The Soke singer is known to be controversial but the controversy he has been linked to lately seem to be more than he can handle alone.

It was reported earlier that the singer was alleged to have sponsored some guys with the help of his manager to beat up another singer Mr 2Kay in his Eko Hotel and Suites room. 2Kay was mercilessly beaten while his attackers also made away with some of his valuables and cash found on him.

Why Burna Boy has not honoured Lagos state police invitation

Though the culprits have been arrested and are cooling off at the police station, the whereabouts of Burna Boy, their sponsor, is unknown which has made the police to have declared him as wanted.

What could have kept the singer away from answering the call of the Lagos state police? Punch reports that the singer is in the country against speculations that he might have travelled out of the country but that he is preoccupied in the studio.

Punch quoted a source as saying: “Burna Boy is neither on the run nor avoiding the police; he is not guilty. I cannot tell you his exact whereabouts but he is in the country recording. Also, you should know that as the festive season approaches, demand for his services would be on the increase, so he is preparing for appearances as well. Initially, when he was invited, he could not go to the station because of his engagements, so his father went to the police station in his stead. But now that the police have insisted that they want to see him personally, he would surely honour their invitation. He is not guilty of the charges levelled against him.”

According to the suspects who carried out the attack, they were paid N100,000 by one Joel Kantiock who works as Burna Boy’s road manager.

For the first, we heard of Burna Boy’s father who has always been silent in his music career. His father was the one who honoured the police invitation sent to the musician. He promised the police that the singer will show up soon.

When will Burna Boy be less busy to honour the police call?
