The Grammy-winning musician was less than pleased about this development and he took to his Instagram stories to respond.

In a now-deleted post, the Nigerian star heavily blasted The Shade Room and other foreign media platforms. According to Burna, he shaved his beards in 2021 and the photo circulating was not a recent one.

Not stopping there, he added that despite all the great achievements he had been making in his music career, international blogs only cared about the person he was sleeping with and other inconsequential matters.
