Burna Boy’s ‘Lamborghini’ Diss Track Ignites Firestorm Online After Viral Preview
LAGOS, NIGERIA — Grammy award-winning singer Burna Boy is once again dominating headlines and timelines after previewing his fiery new diss track titled “Lamborghini”—a bold response to the controversy involving Lagos-based socialite, Sophia Egbueje.
The artist, known for his genre-defying sound and outspoken persona, shared a snippet of the unreleased track during a club appearance, where he was seen dancing with visible excitement as the song blared through the speakers. The moment was captured in a now-viral video, triggering an avalanche of online reactions and debates over the song’s message and intent.
The track appears to be a direct clapback at Egbueje, who earlier accused Burna Boy in a leaked audio of promising—but failing—to gift her a Lamborghini. The clip sparked days of gossip and speculation across social media. In response, Burna Boy took the drama a step further by debuting the diss track live during a music concert in Kenya, drawing both applause and criticism.
From Club to Concert Stage: Diss Track Goes Global
The “Lamborghini” performance has since gone global, with fans and critics dissecting every line for hidden jabs and lyrical shade. While Burna Boy hasn’t officially addressed the situation beyond the music, his actions speak volumes—and the timing of the track’s preview suggests a calculated media moment.
Mixed Reactions: “Where’s the Substance?”
Reactions to the preview have been divided, with some fans praising the energy of the track, while others questioned the depth of the lyrics—especially in light of Burna Boy’s previous comments on the lack of substance in today’s music.
“After this one, he’ll still say other people’s music has no substance—meanwhile he’s singing ‘dem dey for there’,” one user, Ghost Boy, commented.
Ejimo echoed the sentiment, stating: “Burna said in an interview that most songs have no meaning. I wonder what this song is about.”
Some fans, however, were more amused than critical. “All of them pass the vibes 😁,” wrote God Pikin, seemingly unbothered by the controversy.
Others, like Imere, were less forgiving: “This song is the worst from any artist in the history of Nigeria. One day, outsiders will tell Burna the truth.”
The Bigger Picture: PR Stunt or Artistic Expression?
With “Lamborghini”, Burna Boy once again blurs the line between personal drama and artistic expression. Some industry watchers believe the move is a strategic PR play designed to generate buzz ahead of a new project. Others argue it’s a genuine expression of frustration from an artist unwilling to remain silent when dragged into gossip.
Either way, Burna Boy has succeeded in reclaiming the narrative—turning scandal into spectacle.
As fans await the full release of “Lamborghini”, one thing is clear: whether you love him or loathe him, Burna Boy knows how to stay at the center of the conversation.
