It’s Not Possible For Burna Boy To Buy A Car Worth N5 Billion 

Meanwhile, music executive, Ubi Franklin has reacted to reports of Afrobeats superstar, Burna Boy acquiring a Bugatti W16 Mistral worth $5 million (N5 billion).

Naija News understand that an international car dealer, Deejay Mzi, shared a clip revealing both the exteriors and interiors of the singer’s new Bugatti W16 Mistral and confirming that it belonged to the ‘Last Last’ crooner.
