Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has publicly criticized Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy for not keeping his promise to buy a Lamborghini for socialite Sophia Egbueje, following an alleged one-night stand between the two. This controversy gained traction after a leaked audio recording surfaced, where Sophia expressed her disappointment over Burna Boy’s failure to deliver on his commitment.
In the recording, Sophia accused Burna Boy of exploiting their encounter, claiming that he had not only failed to buy her the luxury car as promised but also took advantage of her vulnerability. Angela Okorie, responding to these allegations, emphasized that Burna Boy should have acted with integrity, particularly given his status as a role model for many fans and aspiring artists.
Angela stated that Burna Boy was aware of Sophia’s expectations, as she had explicitly communicated her “price” to him. She expressed her belief that celebrities have a responsibility to set a positive example, especially when they have the power to influence others. In her video message shared on Instagram, she articulated her disappointment, saying, “This is the wrongest thing any celebrity will ever do. You’re supposed to be human. God made you this mega superstar for a reason; to advocate for those who cannot speak and to help those in need.”
She further defended Sophia, arguing that critics who condemned her for asking for a Lamborghini were being unjust. Angela asserted that Sophia had clearly stated her worth, comparing herself to the luxury vehicle. “If you can afford that, then you can sleep with her. That’s what she said,” Angela noted. She stressed that as a public figure, Burna Boy should have used his platform to uplift others rather than take advantage of them, reiterating that Sophia deserves support and assistance.
This incident has sparked discussions about accountability and ethics among celebrities, highlighting the complexities of relationships in the public eye and the expectations placed on influential figures. Angela Okorie’s comments reflect a broader sentiment about the need for celebrities to act responsibly and uphold their promises, particularly when it comes to personal relationships.
