Burna Boy More Successful Than Gunna, Chloe Baileys Ex Dj Akademiks
DJ Akademiks Claims Burna Boy is More Successful Than Gunna Amid Romance Rumours
Controversial American media personality, DJ Akademiks, has sparked a debate by claiming that Nigerian superstar Burna Boy is more successful than American rapper Gunna. The statement was made during a recent episode of his podcast while discussing the ongoing speculation around Burna Boy's alleged romance with Gunna's ex-girlfriend, Chloe Bailey.
The two were recently seen together in Lagos, holding hands while leaving a club, prompting rumors of a blossoming relationship. Akademiks, reacting to the situation, pointed out that women typically "date up" and suggested that Chloe's new closeness to Burna Boy could be an indicator of Burna Boy's elevated status in the music industry.
He remarked, "We just keep seeing them Burna Boy and Chloe together. Remember, she used to date Gunna. She's being cosy around Burna Boy now." He then went on to make the bold claim that Burna Boy, despite being from a different part of the world, has surpassed Gunna in terms of success. According to Akademiks, this is reflected not just in their romantic connections but also in their professional achievements.
While Burna Boy has enjoyed significant global success with chart-topping albums like "African Giant" and "Twice as Tall", Gunna's career has faced challenges, including legal issues, with the rapper involved in a high-profile case surrounding the YSL gang indictment. Despite this, Gunna remains a prominent figure in the hip-hop scene, known for his contributions to the trap genre.
Akademiks' statement, though controversial, highlights the ongoing cultural exchange between African and American music scenes, with Burna Boy establishing himself as a major international figure. His recognition at prestigious events such as the Grammy Awards and his massive global following have indeed placed him at the forefront of global music.
As for Chloe Bailey, the speculation surrounding her love life has added fuel to the flames of this discussion. Whether or not Burna Boy and Chloe are dating remains unclear, but Akademiks' comments seem to underscore the shifting power dynamics in music and celebrity culture, where success, image, and influence often intersect with personal relationships.
As the situation continues to unfold, fans from both sides of the globe will likely keep a close eye on both Burna Boy's musical achievements and his personal life, which has recently been making headlines.
