Nigerian Entertainment News: Burna Boy Criticized for Cropping Out ‘5’ from Throwback Birthday Picture

In the latest twist stirring up Nigerian Entertainment News, Grammy-winning music star Burna Boy is facing backlash after he altered a childhood birthday photo—removing a visible “5” from his cake, a number now tied to Davido’s recently released album titled 5ive

The Afrofusion artist initially posted the vintage photo featuring himself as a young boy beside his sisters, with a birthday cake boldly marked with the number “5.” However, eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out the link between the number and Davido’s album, sparking intense speculation online.

Not long after, Burna Boy re-uploaded the same picture—this time with the number “5” digitally removed. The adjustment ignited online reactions, with critics accusing him of unnecessary drama and reigniting his ongoing feud with Davido.

Many Nigerian Entertainment News followers also referenced a past Met Gala moment where Burna Boy allegedly instructed a DJ to skip Davido’s verse in the hit track Kante, further fueling talks of rivalry between the two stars.
