Afrobeats singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has claimed that his colleague, Davido’s marriage isn’t a good example.

He stated this while responding to a fan who urged him to emulate the embattled singer and get married soon.

Gatekeeper Burna Boyreports that Davido is currently embroiled in a child custody battle with his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu.

The DMW boss had on Friday night called out his baby mama, Sophia, for citing the death of his son, Ifeanyi, who drowned in a swimming pool accident at his Lagos mansion, in her counter suit.

Following his outburst, his colleague, Dammy Krane mocked him, saying he now knows the pain his late friend, Tagbo’s mother felt when his son whom he accused Davido of contributing to his death, died.

Burna Boy waded in, asking Dammy Krane to pull down his posts on Davido but he ignored him.

The Grammy-winning singer then wrote on his X page: “‘Odogwu too wise’ who no hear go feel.”

Taking to the comment section, an X user with the handle, @BadLieutenant urged Burna Boy to emulate his colleague, Davido by getting married.

The user wrote, “Burna Boy, you should start planning for your future by getting married and starting a family. OBO has already set an example. You’re over 33 now, and you need to understand that you’re not getting any younger.”

Burna Boy replied, “Baba make I just dey as I dey abeg, u nor see wetin him dey face like dis?”

Another user @RealDreylo then wrote, “You can’t even answer a question like a reasonable person. LOL. Just big head and plenty beards”

Burna Boy responded, “Ok. But between me and you, Shey na betta example the guy use?”

A user, @SunOfOba then asked Burna Boy, “Adekunle Gold na better example?” to which the singer replied, “Ehen! Na wetin we dey pray for be that bros.”

Recall that Davido recently tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Chioma, at a lavish ceremony in Lagos.
