Burna Boy’s Reaction to Davido Mention Goes Viral, Reignites Rivalry Debate
Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy has once again set social media buzzing after his reaction to a Davido mention during a livestream with internet personality Plaqueboymax went viral.
The Moment That Sparked the Frenzy
During the live chat, a viewer’s comment referencing Davido appeared in the stream’s chat section. Plaqueboymax seemed ready to address it but before he could continue, Burna Boy quickly shut it down, laughing and repeating, “Nah, nah, nah!” several times while shaking his head.
The Grammy-winning artist’s playful but dismissive reaction drew laughter from the host and instantly sent fans into speculation mode, with many interpreting it as another subtle dig at his long-time rival.
Social Media Reactions
Within hours, clips from the livestream spread like wildfire across X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram. Fans dissected Burna Boy’s tone and body language, with some calling it lighthearted banter while others saw it as a continuation of the cold war between the two Afrobeats heavyweights.
“Burna didn’t even have to say much that ‘nah nah nah’ said it all,” one fan commented. Another joked, “These two are never making a song together, are they?”
A Rivalry That Won’t Fade
The Burna Boy–Davido tension has long been one of Afrobeats’ most talked-about rivalries, fueled by years of subtle shade, cryptic lyrics, and social media jabs. Despite both artists achieving global dominance selling out arenas and earning international recognition their relationship remains frosty.
Burna Boy’s latest on-air moment only reinforces that divide, showing that even in casual settings, the friction between Nigeria’s two biggest music exports continues to linger.
The Takeaway
While fans continue to hope for peace or even a surprise collaboration someday, Burna Boy’s viral reaction suggests reconciliation isn’t on the horizon just yet. Still, one thing remains clear when it comes to Afrobeats drama, Burna Boy and Davido’s rivalry remains one of the genre’s most captivating storylines.
