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).

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.

Some sections of the media had reported that the price tag for a brand new Bugatti W16 Mistral is approximately $5 million (N5 billion).

However, Franklin has expressed doubt that Burna would spend such an amount on a car.
