Lavish Spending: Call for Financial Mentorship from Wizkid GheGhe Tells Davido, Burna Boy

 

Popular social media commentator GehGeh has sparked heated conversations online after calling out Nigerian music stars Burna Boy and Davido for what he described as reckless and unnecessary spending.

In a post that quickly gained traction across platforms, GehGeh argued that the singers’ frequent display of wealth—such as luxury vehicles reportedly worth as much as ₦3.2 billion—is insensitive, considering the harsh economic realities faced by millions of Nigerians.

According to him, while Burna Boy and Davido often flaunt expensive acquisitions, ordinary Nigerians struggle daily to afford basic means of transportation such as a keke (tricycle).

The commentator went further to suggest that both artistes should take financial lessons from their colleague Wizkid, whom he praised for maintaining a relatively low-profile lifestyle despite his global success and immense wealth.

“Burna and Davido need mentorship from Wizkid when it comes to handling money. They are busy buying cars worth billions while average Nigerians can’t even afford a keke,” GehGeh wrote.

Public Reactions

The remarks have drawn mixed reactions from fans and observers. While some agreed that Nigerian celebrities should show restraint and sensitivity in flaunting wealth, others defended the artistes, insisting that their success allows them the freedom to spend their earnings as they wish.

Supporters of Burna Boy and Davido argued that the duo’s spending also contributes to the economy by creating jobs and supporting luxury markets, while critics countered that excessive displays of wealth widen the disconnect between celebrities and their struggling fan base.

The Larger Debate

The debate highlights a growing tension between celebrity lifestyles and Nigeria’s economic hardship. With inflation, unemployment, and rising transportation costs weighing heavily on citizens, many social media users believe public figures should exercise greater responsibility in how they showcase wealth.

For now, neither Burna Boy, Davido, nor Wizkid has responded publicly to GehGeh’s comments.
