Social media is once again abuzz with debate, as Grammy-winning Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy finds himself at the centre of a new controversy—this time, over his unkempt armpit.

The comment ignited an intense exchange among fans and critics alike. Supporters of the artist were quick to fire back, rallying behind Burna Boy in defense of his unbothered style. User @Alexandaaahh was one of the first to respond with a stinging rebuttal: “Armpit wey fit change your life?” Another, @Official_B_O_A, chimed in dismissively, “Your advice no fit add or deduct anything from em bank, rest and enjoy your fufu.”
These sentiments underscored the wealth and success Burna Boy has achieved, implying that criticisms over appearance are inconsequential in the face of his accomplishments.
How Can Burna Boy’s Armpit Change Lives?
However, not all responses were sympathetic. User @Ayo_mideh01 questioned the logic of saying that Burna Boy’s armpit could “change lives.” He expressed disbelief, saying, “How his armpit go fit change her life. Una sense of reasoning sometimes sef dey amaze person 😂💔.” Another user, Oso Gbenga Daniel, dismissed the entire debate as trivial, writing, “Una too dey glorify nonsense.”
The divisive conversation highlights both the deep admiration and intense scrutiny that Burna Boy often attracts. Michael @Chidera23190284 injected some humor into the discourse, remarking, “If this nonsense go bring glory for us. Count us in 😭.”
Not Burna Boy’s First Brush with Controversy
The incident is far from the first time Burna Boy has drawn criticism or sparked debate. The artist has faced backlash for past incidents, including a nightclub shooting, controversial comments on Afrobeats, and his outspoken remarks about Nigerians. He was even recently drawn into the P Diddy debate about sexual exploitation.
In June 2022, Burna Boy’s security detail allegedly shot and injured two people at a Lagos nightclub following a confrontation. The victims claimed Burna Boy’s entourage had escalated the situation, resulting in the arrests and attempted murder charges for five members of his team.
Beyond this, Burna Boy’s stance on Afrobeats has also fueled controversy. In interviews, he has suggested that much of the genre lacks “substance” and primarily serves as entertainment. The remarks, perceived as critical, offended some fans and fellow musicians, who felt he was diminishing the genre’s cultural depth.
Burna Boy Belittling Afrobeats
Burna Boy’s outspoken critiques of Nigerians have led to further division. Fans have accused him of belittling Nigerian culture and the music scene, which, despite his achievements, has left some supporters disheartened.
Despite these incidents, Burna Boy’s massive fan base remains largely unwavering, embracing his successes and brushing off criticisms. The armpit debate seems only to add another layer to his reputation as an artist unafraid of stirring the pot—whether intentionally or unintentionally.
