Nigerian Entertainment News: Burna Boy Drives ₦3.2 Billion McLaren Through Flooded Streets of Lagos
Renowned Afrobeats icon, Ebunoluwa Damini—famously recognized as Burna Boy—has stirred conversation once more, this time for maneuvering his ultra-expensive McLaren, valued at approximately ₦3.22 billion, through the rain-soaked streets of Lagos
A trending video circulating online shows the Grammy-winning musician at the helm of the luxurious sports car, steering through roads heavily impacted by floodwaters.
While admirers were thrilled to witness Burna Boy in his high-end automobile, many also voiced worry about the deteriorating state of the city’s infrastructure.
Adding to the buzz, Burna Boy’s personal bodyguard was seen proudly posing next to the exotic ride, even throwing subtle shade at fellow artist and rival, Davido—escalating online debate and fan rivalry.
Despite the admiration, several followers urged the artist to relocate the prized vehicle to Abuja, where the roads are in significantly better condition. Many feared that continuous use of the McLaren on Lagos’ damaged roads might reduce its visual appeal or monetary worth.
This isn’t the first time such a display has caught attention in Nigerian Entertainment News. Just recently, Burna Boy’s close associate, Wizkid, made headlines for showing off the interior of his own billion-naira McLaren, purchased earlier in 2024.
The clip has sparked widespread reactions across social media platforms, showcasing not only Burna Boy’s extravagant taste but also spotlighting the ongoing challenge of inadequate infrastructure in one of Nigeria’s busiest cities.
