Popular Nigerian social media commentator and viral TikTok critic, Geh Geh, has ignited a fierce online debate after openly confronting Grammy-winning Afrobeats icon Burna Boy over his recent purchase of a ₦9 billion Bugatti Chiron.
In a trending video that quickly went viral across platforms, Geh Geh slammed the “Last Last” singer for spending such an astronomical sum on a single luxury vehicle while millions of young Nigerians face economic hardship, youth unemployment, and limited opportunities. The outspoken content creator argued that as an artist who frequently preaches African liberation and economic empowerment through his music, Burna Boy should put his money where his mouth is.
“Nine billion naira for one motor when that money can set up industries, sponsor university scholarships, or build tech hubs for thousands of young youths?” Geh Geh questioned, calling the purchase an unnecessary display of wealth. “How many youths have you empowered in your hometown? Buying a Bugatti is good for ego, but changing lives is what builds a true legacy.”
Geh Geh’s harsh critique instantly split opinion across the internet. While fans of the music star jumped to his defense—arguing that Burna Boy worked hard for his fortune and owes no obligation to shoulder government responsibilities—others agreed with Geh Geh, calling on wealthy celebrities to invest heavily in sustainable community development and youth empowerment programs across the nation.
Do you agree with Geh Geh that Burna Boy should have invested the ₦9 billion in youth empowerment, or is a man allowed to enjoy his hard-earned money? Let us know in the comments below!
