Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy is now facing personal repercussions after his rumored American girlfriend, Chloe Bailey, unfollowed him on Instagram.
This is coming after the saga of ‘sex-for-Lambo’ escalated.
This move has sparked further speculation about the state of their relationship in the wake of allegations made by Nigerian socialite Sophia Egbueje.
The drama began on Thursday when an audio recording surfaced online, in which Sophia detailed an alleged encounter with Burna Boy.
In the leaked clip, she claimed that the singer had slept with her but failed to fulfill his promise of buying her a Lamborghini.
The allegations quickly gained traction, fueling debates about celebrity relationships, transactional intimacy, and the expectations that come with wealth and status.
In response to the allegations, Burna Boy took to social media on Friday, posting a video where he freestyled a few lyrics addressing the controversy.
In the clip, he sang, “If you are not getting me, forget about it. I no buy Lambo; is that why you are shouting? Dem dey. Where dem dey?”
The cryptic response did little to clarify the situation, leaving fans and critics divided over whether he was denying the claims or simply brushing them off.
His casual demeanor in the video suggested that he was unbothered by the storm brewing around him, but the absence of a direct rebuttal only added fuel to the fire.
Many social media users speculated that Burna Boy’s nonchalant attitude was an attempt to downplay the seriousness of the accusations.
Meanwhile, Chloe Bailey appeared to address the situation in her own subtle way. On Friday, she posted a cryptic message on social media, stating, “Everything is working out for me 😍✨✨.”
At first, her words gave the impression that she was unfazed by the drama, maintaining a sense of positivity despite the allegations against her rumored boyfriend.
However, her next move—unfollowing Burna Boy on Instagram—seemed to tell a different story. While she did not publicly confirm or deny any connection to the controversy, her action spoke volumes.
Fans quickly noticed the change and began speculating that this was her way of distancing herself from the unfolding scandal.
The relationship between Burna Boy and Chloe Bailey has been a topic of discussion since late last year when the pair were spotted together in Nigeria.
In December, rumors of their romance gained momentum after they were seen getting cozy in a private section of a club. By February, their connection seemed even stronger when Burna Boy surprised Chloe with a matching Rolex wristwatch during a romantic dinner in Lagos.
This public display of affection only reinforced the belief that they were more than just friends.
Now, however, with Chloe’s latest social media move, many are questioning whether their rumored romance has come to an abrupt end due to the scandal.
As the controversy raged on, Nigerian media personality Daddy Freeze also weighed in, addressing both men and women in his usual candid style.
“Women, please stop selling your body for a Lamborghini,” he said in a live video. “And please, men, una no get action? Una no fit talk to women? Which one is Lamborghini? Una wan sleep with a woman, and she’s requesting a Lamborghini in exchange. Burna Boy, correct guy, you try. Burst them.”
His comments sparked mixed reactions online, with some people agreeing that relationships should not be transactional, while others argued that Sophia had every right to expect something in return if there was an agreement.
The debate further highlighted the deep-rooted complexities surrounding gender dynamics, money, and power in relationships.
Daddy Freeze didn’t stop there. He went on to suggest that the issue was bigger than just Burna Boy and Sophia.
“The government needs to look into this. It cannot be okay for a girl to believe that she can get a car or a house by sleeping with a guy,” he continued.
His remarks opened up a broader conversation about the normalization of extravagant gifts in exchange for intimacy and whether this trend is setting a dangerous precedent for young people.
Some social media users applauded his perspective, while others felt he was unfairly targeting women without addressing the role of men who willingly engage in such exchanges.
The discourse surrounding the scandal continued to divide opinions, with various factions defending or condemning the involved parties.
Just when it seemed the drama had reached its peak, a surprising twist emerged.
On Saturday, March 1, 2025, Sophia Egbueje took to her Instagram story to announce that her dream car had finally arrived.
In a video she posted, a sleek Lamborghini was seen being offloaded from an articulated truck at her residence. This unexpected development left many wondering whether Burna Boy had eventually given in and fulfilled his alleged promise or if Sophia had secured the luxury vehicle through her own means.
To clarify the situation, she boldly stated in her caption that she had purchased the Lamborghini herself, making it clear that no one had gifted it to her.
She also added an angry emoji, hinting at lingering frustration over the way the controversy had played out.
While some fans congratulated Sophia on her new acquisition, others remained skeptical about her claims. “Did she really buy it herself, or is this just damage control?” one user commented on social media. “Either way, she got what she wanted in the end,” another remarked.
The saga has since fueled even more discussions about the blurred lines between personal ambition, transactional relationships, and the expectations placed on celebrities when it comes to their romantic dealings.
As the dust settles, the unanswered questions surrounding Burna Boy, Chloe Bailey, and Sophia Egbueje continue to linger, leaving the public eager for any new developments in this unfolding drama.
