Independent journalist, David Hundeyin has reopened the case of the shooting at the Cubana club in 2022 involving Afrobeats singer, Burna Boy.
Recall that the musician had an altercation with a group after reportedly making three attempts to invite a lady from the group to his table. 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 got into a fight with a Burna Boy fan who referred to his investigative journalism as a phony.
In retaliation, Hundeyin produced an exposé on the singer’s club shooting that revealed details that hadn’t before been made public.
Hundeyin alleged in a lengthy thread that Burna Boy had a pistol on him during the confrontation and fled the country when the situation became urgent.
He revealed that after paying off the victims, they signed a gag order prohibiting them from disclosing details or making public comments.
He wrote;
“I have you people’s time this night since Burna Boy himself is too dumb 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.
The 2 victims also identified at least 2 members of the posse whom they saw waving guns during the incident. Here they are, including one of them who was such a moron that he uploaded the gun to his Instagram story a few minutes later
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.
Odogwu immediately left the country, and 3 innocent cops were used as scapegoats for a crime they could not have committed (they were not inside the club, and the NPF does not issue Glock 19’s). While he was tweeting nonsense, his father was begging the victims on his behalf.
Of course I reached out to his management for comment, and the cowards pretended not to see my message. Then he blocked me on Twitter.
Why haven’t you heard all of this before? Because he PAID THEM TO KEEP QUIET AFTERWARD! I was waiting for the victim to give me the ballistics report from America, only for them to inform me that they reached a settlement with your Odogwu that included a gagging order.
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.”
He also shared voice recordings of his conversation with the victims. Listen below,
