In snippet from a track on the album titled Thanks, featuring American rapper J. Cole , Burna criticized Nigerians for suggesting that the situation where his police escorts reportedly fired at a club attendee, Steph Briella, her partner, and best friend at Cubana’s Club in Victoria Island, Lagos, was driven by his intention to take the married woman away from her husband.
The ‘Last Last’ crooner also tackled the swirling rumors surrounding his mother’s alleged role as one of the dancers for the legendary Afrobeat trailblazer, Fela Kuti.

“Is this the motherfucking thanks I get for making my people proud, every chance I get?
“It’s okay, I get. This Naija no love.
“They say my mama dance for Fela.

“They say I shoot person for Cubana because I want collect person woman…
“Is this the m***ing thanks I get? For making my people proud, every chance I get.”
