Afrobeats singer and songwriter, Damini Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, has responded to critics who faulted his decision to acquire a new and rare Bugatti.
The Grammy-winning music star replied to his detractors while freestyling on stage during his performance at the Afro Nation concert in Portugal on Friday.
Prior to the development, a car dealer, Abujacar, had shared a video unveiling Burna Boy’s “one-of-one” widebody Bugatti Chiron by a representative from the Dubai-based luxury customisation shop, Venuum.
The custom automobile featured unique modifications, including the singer’s name engraved on the vehicle’s rear spoiler, which is said to be worth N9 billion.

According to Venuum, the project is a “fully bespoke vision” designed to elevate the standard Bugatti Chiron into a “completely different dimension”.
It further asserted that the creation is the world’s first widebody Bugatti Chiron, making it a unique addition to the singer’s collection of exotic vehicles.
After the exquisite automobile made the rounds on social media, it elicited mixed reactions, as some netizens wondered if the singer would be able to drive the car on Nigeria’s bad roads.
Announcing the purchase of the car during the show, Burna Boy, who marked his 35th birthday on Thursday, 2 July, clapped back at critics of his expensive acquisition, saying, “I buy Bugatti, them ask which road I go drive am—no be today we dey do road like Julius Berger.”
