Nigerian music superstar Burna Boy has sparked widespread reactions after socialite Sophia Egbueje accused him of promising her a Lamborghini truck in exchange for intimacy but failing to fulfill his promise. The scandal surfaced on February 27, 2025, when leaked voice notes of Sophia detailing the alleged agreement began circulating on social media.
In the recordings, Sophia claimed she was introduced to Burna Boy by her friend Ama Reginald and Burna Boy’s close associate Manny. According to her, Ama encouraged her to take Burna Boy seriously, citing his past lavish gifts to women, including buying a Rolls-Royce Cullinan for his ex-girlfriend, Stefflon Don.
“She is like, ‘Babe, you should take him seriously. You know it’s him that bought Stefflon Don Cullinan. He actually spends on girls. Just try and take him seriously,’” Sophia said in the voice note.
However, things took a dramatic turn when Sophia alleged that Burna Boy reneged on his promise. To add to her frustration, she claimed that Ama Reginald later partied with Burna Boy and his rumored new girlfriend, American singer Chloe Bailey.
Social Media Reactions
The allegations have ignited heated conversations across social media platforms, with users sharing mixed opinions on the scandal. While some mocked Sophia for expecting a Lamborghini in exchange for intimacy, others criticized Burna Boy for allegedly making false promises.
Popular comments include:
- “Burna delivered Lamba-gini 😂”
- “At least she received lamba if not Lamborghini 😹”
- “Such a transactional generation… friendships in Nigeria are scary.”
- “Burna Boy the brotherhood is super proud of you @burnaboy”
In what seems to be a subtle response to the allegations, Burna Boy posted a video on his Instagram story flaunting his Lamborghini Urus while playing one of his hit songs. The gesture has further fueled speculation that he is indirectly addressing the scandal without making any official statements.
As social media remains abuzz with the scandal, neither Burna Boy nor Sophia Egbueje has made an official statement regarding the allegations. However, the controversy has added another layer to Burna Boy’s reputation, with many debating whether the accusations will impact his brand.
