Burna Boy, on his X handle, engaged in a series of fans’ engagements on Friday.
The “For My Hands” crooner wrote on his handle, “Odogwu too wise” who no hear go feel”.
The post attracted reaction from a fan, @badlieutanant, who asked the “Odogwu” crooner to get married as Davido did.
@badlieutanant wrote, “Burna Boy, you should start planning for your future by getting married and starting a family. OBO has already set an example. You’re over 33 now, and you need to understand that you’re not getting any younger.”
In response, Burna said he preferred to remain a bachelor than be in the same situation like the “Unavailable” crooner.
He wrote, “Baba make I just dey as I dey abeg, u nor see wetin him dey face like dis?” Another fan, @RealDreylo, replied Burna, “You can’t even answer a question like a reasonable person LOL just big head and plenty beards.”
In reply to @RealDreylo, Burna said, “Ok. But between me and you, Shey na betta example the guy use?.”
Another fan of his, @sunofoba, took the conversation further. @Sunofoba asked “Adekunle Gold na better example?” Burna responded, “Ehen! Na wetin we dey pray for be that bros.”
