“Na money he dey respect”- Netizens react after Burna Boy was spotted greeting Dangote

Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy has caught the attention of the public after being captured with Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote.

In the video posted on X, formerly Twitter, the singer was seen bowing in humility to Dangote to exchange pleasantries. The moment quickly drew the attention of the public, with netizens expressing their opinions.

Some believe that singer Burna Boy’s sign of respect towards Dangote does not come from a sincere heart but rather as a result of his financial capacity and the level of respect he commands.

“Na money he dey respect” netizens said.

“That guy is not really humble, that’s why. He is doing it because it’s Aliko Dangote. A very hypocritical musician.”
