The drama surrounding Burna Boy and socialite Sophia Egbueje has taken a fresh turn as the Grammy-winning singer has finally responded to allegations that he failed to fulfill a promise to buy her a Lamborghini.
On February 28, 2025, Burna Boy took to his Instagram story, playfully singing, “I no buy Lambo, is that why you’re shouting?”—a clear jab at Sophia amid the ongoing controversy.
How It All Started
The internet went wild on February 27, 2025, after a leaked voice note of Sophia Egbueje surfaced online. In the audio, Sophia claimed that her friend Ama Reginald and Burna Boy’s associate, Manny, persuaded her to meet the singer, promising that he would buy her a Lamborghini in return.
“She was like, ‘Babe, take him seriously. He bought Stefflon Don a Cullinan. He actually spends on girls. Just try and take him seriously,’” Sophia recounted in the viral recording.
However, she alleged that after their encounter, Burna Boy failed to follow through with his promise, leaving her empty-handed. The revelation sparked heated debates online about transactional relationships and social climbing.
Social Media Reactions
Following Burna Boy’s sarcastic response, social media users flooded the internet with mixed reactions:
- “Grow up, boy! You lied to hit it… You know you can’t get her without promising. Promise and fail no be flex.”
- “If a woman uses a man, she’s called names. But if a man does it, he’s called smart. SMH.”
- “He will still use this drama to drop a hit song and cash out, while she gets nothing!”
- “Neither of them should be proud. This was just trade by barter gone wrong!”
The Sophia & Ama Reginald Rift
As the controversy deepens, reports suggest that Sophia and her friend Ama Reginald are no longer on good terms. The duo, previously known for their close friendship, has allegedly fallen out over the incident.
Adding more fuel to the fire, influencer Bo Hairs recently went live on Instagram, claiming that Ama Reginald has a history of luring people into messy situations. She even recalled how Ama was involved in the breakdown of her friendship with chef Hilda Baci.
Burna Boy’s Silence Before the Clapback
Before his recent response, Burna Boy remained completely silent while social media went into a frenzy. Fans speculated that his silence meant one of two things: either he was guilty, or he was cooking up a new strategy.
Meanwhile, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok exploded with memes, think pieces, and heated debates. Some argued that Sophia exposed the situation too soon, while others questioned why Burna Boy would make such a promise in the first place.
Ama Reginald: Caught in the Crossfire
Although Ama Reginald has not addressed the allegations publicly, her name has been dragged into the saga. Many are side-eyeing her, wondering why she always seems to be at the center of controversies. With internet detectives digging into her past, the influencer is facing increased scrutiny.
What’s Next?
As the drama unfolds, the big questions remain:
- Did Burna Boy really promise Sophia a Lambo, or was it all a misunderstanding?
- Can Sophia and Ama repair their friendship?
- Who leaked the call recordings in the first place?
One thing is clear—this scandal is far from over, and social media will continue to dissect every new development. Stay tuned.
