“Burna Boy was with a gun” — David Hundeyin revisits Cubana club shooting, reveals damning evidence.
The 2022 shooting at the Cubana club featuring the Afrobeats musician Burna Boy is revisited by independent journalist David Hundeyin.
Recall that the musician reportedly made three efforts to bring a lady from the group to his table before getting into a fight with them. Two members of the gang were hurt in the gunfire that followed the dispute at the Cubana club.
A year after the event, David Hundeyin, a contentious journalist, got into a fight with a Burna Boy fan who referred to his investigative journalism as a phoney.
In retaliation, Hundeyin produced an exposé on the singer’s club shooting that revealed details that hadn’t before been made public.
Hundeyin said in a lengthy thread that Burna Boy had a pistol on him during the confrontation and fled the nation when the situation became urgent.
He said that after paying off the victims, they signed a gag order prohibiting them from disclosing details or making public comments.
David Hundeyin‘s exposes on Burna Boy’s Cubana club shooting
“I have you people’s time this night since Burna Boy himself is too foolish to tell you wastes of space to leave me alone for his own sake. And before his lawyers develop any ideas, I am at liberty to do this – Irebami and Tolu may have signed an NDA, but I didn’t. You pushed me.
“The images above are of the bullet hole left in the thigh of Irebami Lawrence on the night of June 8, during an altercation with Burna Boy’s posse, as was widely reported. The night started this way.
“…And ended with 2 men getting shot because Burna Boy’s fragile ego couldn’t take no for an answer when he tried 3 times to get another man’s fiancee to come to his table.
“You probably know all this already. What you don’t know is that the victims testified to me that they saw Burna Boy waving a gun during the altercation, along with at least 2 other members of his posse. I recorded these conversations. Here’s the first one
“Here’s the second conversation. I’m sorry if Tomiwa and Irebami didn’t want this out there, but I am tired of Burna Boy’s brain-dead fans casting aspersions on my credibility because they cannot accept that a musician they like is a giant flaming asshole.

I spoke to several firearms experts who confirmed that the gun in the picture is a Glock 19 handgun, whose ammunition profile is consistent with that of the size of the holes made in the iPhone and Irebami's thigh in the opening tweet. pic.twitter.com/VSzpcgCbV5

“For a whole year I have kept quiet and stomached insults from people who are not qualified to be my driver, out of respect for the victims who decided to accept the gagging order.
Tonight, you people have finally pushed me to do what I wasn’t going to do. Congratulations.”
