Nigerian music star, Burna Boy has left Twitter because he is “apparently too real for it”. The Grammy-nominated artiste used his last post to urge his fans to “find out what your true calling on this world is, train your mind and your body.”
It is unclear the reason behind his decision. However, reports suggest it could have been triggered by fans accusing him of copying the sounds and rhythm of his mentor, Fela.
It got more complicated after he got into a spat with fans over his perceived “arrogance” and seemed to deride Mavin Music talent, Reekado Banks, who joined the session to challenge Burna to a music fest, BBC reported.
This is my Last personal tweet Ever. I Imma just leave this app cuz apparently I’m too real for it. Everyone please use this COV-19 times to really find out what your true purpose in this world is, train your mind and Body to the fullest, get Closer to the Most high n ur Family.

“You know I got too much love for you bro, but didn’t you see when I said worthy challenger,” he tweeted.
This infuriated a host of Twitter users who accused him of being cocky and rude. Burna Boy further stated this is his own way of being real.

This isn’t the first time Burna Boy has threatened to leave social media. Last year, the Ye singer announced he was leaving all his social media platforms to his management, but returned a few months later.
Small dragging u wan run …
Proverbs 24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

He also announced he was quitting all platforms in 2009, but reneged on that decision.
See, I love #burna boy like mad but he’s a rude dude. Even if he’s more than Reeky, he should appreciate that Reeky threw himself to his challenge; it’s only an act of love and respect from Reeky. It’s not everyone you diminish with your FACTS. #Reeky is not an upcoming artist na

You will come back again and make one or two excuses. Just like it you said about visiting SA, and streaming numbers.

Your mouth too loose, and you talk too much. Your fans even mistake your pride and rudeness for confidence.
Go and come back Mr Real. We will be here.
Leaving actually gives them the edge…. Stay here… Pepper everybody… Just take ur mind of it and focus on the good energy from the one that love you…
Use the block feature, chase them out like the dude from that event

The Fools that say this shit don’t even really know Fela songs. Fela went through much more hate from you fuckers than I currently do and all he did was speak the truth even more than I do. U are just pained that I’m King and I’m Flawless with the vibes. Unstoppable https://t.co/6g6CdATeKk
