The Met Gala has come and gone but stories developing from it is not a good one for one of our own that was at the event. Recall that Nollywood Times reported that two Nigerian acts - Tems and Burna Boy debuted at the world's most prestigious and glamorous fashion event, Met Gala on May 1, 2023. 

Well reports reaching us has it that Grammy-award-winning Nigerian singer, Burna Boy actually snubbed a Nigerian journalist, Kachi Offiah at the 2023 Met Gala in New York. That was disrespectful!

Offiah said she was the only Nigerian reporter at the event but when she approached the Nigerian superstar for an interview, she was “snubbed” by the singer.

She disclosed this on Arise 360 music programme recently.

She said, “I’m not gonna lie, at that very moment [after Burna Boy’s snub] I was gonna cry. First of all, I tell you why, I looked hello stupid calling this man Odogwu [laughs]. And then he just walked right pass me like I was some crazy lady from Africa that doesn’t understand who he was.

“I’m sure people were probably thinking, who in the world is odogwu?”
However, in the video clip, Burna Boy smiled at her when she requested to interview him.

Burna Boy said, “Honestly, I have got to go.”

After the singer walked away, the journalist said to the camera, “Guys, we got to remember this one, Burna Boy really snubbed Nigeria like don’t forget that.”

Many Netizens have reacted to the issue dragging him for the behaviour towards the journalist and even Nigerians.
