Burna Boy just made history — not with a Grammy this time, but with rubber and wheels. The Afrobeats heavyweight reportedly spent a jaw-dropping ₦3.2 billion on a McLaren Senna Exposed Carbon Edition, the most expensive privately-owned car in Nigeria today.
The car, sold by AbujaCars, is one of only 15 units globally, and it’s not your everyday luxury ride. With shark-like edges, a carbon-fiber body, and a 789-horsepower twin-turbo V8 engine, this thing moves like a jet on the road. And for Burna, it’s now the crown jewel in a garage already packed with a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bentley Continental GT, multiple Ferraris, and more.
Estimated total value of his garage? ₦5 billion and counting.
Davido Not Left Out — OBO’s Maybach SL680 Sparks More Outrage
Just days earlier, Davido also made headlines for reportedly acquiring the Maybach SL680, the world’s first convertible Maybach, for an estimated ₦1.2 billion after import duties, taxes, and shipping.
The car features custom paint, a V8 engine, plush white leather interior, and Maybach logos in every corner. Davido allegedly got his hands on it even before the official release date. That’s not ordinary flex — that’s industry privilege.
VeryDarkMan Enters the Chat — Calls Out Burna, Davido, Wizkid
But while fans were drooling over the luxury, controversial activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) wasn’t impressed. In fact, he was furious. He posted a lengthy rant, dragging Burna, Davido, and Wizkid for spending billions on cars while Nigerians continue to suffer.
“Don’t you people read the room? Nigerians are broke, people are dying of hunger, and all you do is post supercars. Davido, what have you done for Osun State? Burna, is this what Odogwu means? Wizkid, are you even in the country?”
He accused them of flaunting wealth to be hailed by the masses, only to throw around “small change” and pretend it’s philanthropy.
Your Opinion: Should They Really Be Flaunting Cars in This Economy?
Let’s be honest — yes, they earned their money. But is now the time to be importing cars worth billions when the country is barely holding it together?
People are jobless. Electricity is a myth. Food prices are insane. Yet our top artists are trending more for their garages than their giving. Should celebrities be more conscious of the reality on the ground, or should they spend their money however they please?
Online Reactions Mixed: Some Agree, Some Say VDM is Reaching
Not everyone agreed with VDM’s take.
@Mayo6Tee said:
“He’s only angry now because Burna bought something louder than Davido’s Tesla. Last week Davido flexed — he said nothing. Agenda man.”
@Idan_Papii tweeted:
“Nobody owes anybody anything. If they worked for it, they can drive gold if they want. Stop sounding bitter.”
@powerchibueze added:
“This over-familiarity with Davido is making VDM feel entitled. It’s giving envy.”
Final Note: Accountability or Envy?
Whether VDM’s anger is rooted in truth or timing, one thing is clear: this whole saga has touched a nerve. Burna and Davido are two of Nigeria’s biggest exports — but should their wealth be inspiration or insult in a struggling country?
That’s the real question now.
