Burna Boy celebrates fan love for all album tracks
Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy is in a celebratory mood following the release of his new album, No Sign of Weakness. Taking to Instagram Stories, the superstar expressed joy that fans already have different favourite songs from the project.
He wrote, “The fact that everyone has a different favourite song on the No Sign of Weakness album is all I wanted, and it’s already happened on the 1st day.” He added, “That’s what an album is supposed to be! An album is NOT a Single!”
According to him, every track standing out to different fans proves the album’s strength and balance.
Reekado Banks questions the quality with a cryptic tweet
However, singer Reekado Banks seemed unimpressed with Burna’s excitement. Shortly after the post circulated, he took to X (formerly Twitter) with what fans have labelled a direct shade at Burna.
Reekado tweeted, “Shey tracks for album suppose sound the same before ni? The bar is in hεll!” accompanied by a smirking emoji.
Although he didn’t mention Burna Boy’s name, the timing of his tweet made it hard for fans not to connect the dots. The online audience quickly assumed it was a dig aimed at Burna’s celebration of fan reactions.
Fans react to the silent jab and ongoing tension
Reekado’s tweet stirred reactions, with many fans divided over its meaning. Some saw it as an honest take on how most albums today lack uniqueness.
Others felt it was a jealous move, especially since Burna Boy has often been vocal about being on a different level musically.
This isn’t the first time the two singers have been caught in subtle drama. In the past, Burna Boy allegedly dismissed Reekado during an Instagram
Live when asked about potential collaborations, saying Reekado doesn’t match his level musically.
Though both stars have avoided direct face-offs, moments like this keep fans watching closely.
