Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy has proven once again that he is a man of his word, delivering financial aid to Bethel Okechukwu, a phone repairer from Alaba Market who identifies as the brother of socialite Cubana Chief Priest.
This act of generosity unfolds against the backdrop of Burna Boy’s ongoing feud with the socialite, adding an unexpected twist to their strained relationship.
Earlier, Burna Boy had shared a video of Okechukwu, shedding light on his struggles to make a living, and made a public promise to gift him $30,000.
True to his word, the singer has now fulfilled this pledge, setting the stage for a life-changing moment for Okechukwu.
Grateful and overjoyed, Okechukwu revealed plans to use the funds to establish a shop and vowed to keep Burna Boy updated on his progress.
Taking to Instagram to express his heartfelt appreciation, he said, “God is real, Odogwu @burnaboygram, God has used you to pull me out from poverty. I will be forever grateful. Please, people, help me thank him for me.”
The emotional video captures Okechukwu urging Nigerians to celebrate Burna Boy’s act of kindness, a gesture that underscores the singer’s enduring impact beyond music.
