Burna Boy And Odumeje Spotted Hugging At Jowizaza’s Party, Video Goes Viral

A video showing Grammy-winning Afrobeats singer Burna Boy sharing a friendly moment with controversial Onitsha-based cleric Chukwuemeka Odumeje, popularly known as Indaboski, has sparked reactions on social media.

The footage, which began circulating on X on October 12, was recorded at a party hosted by Nigerian businessman Jowizaza in Lagos.

In the viral clip, Burna Boy was seen mingling with other guests while openly smoking what many viewers identified as Igbo, with several cameras capturing his movements at the event.

The singer later approached Odumeje, and the two exchanged a warm hug before sharing laughter and engaging in what appeared to be a relaxed conversation. Some guests at the gathering also brought out their phones to capture the encounter.

Burna Boy has frequently referenced smoking in his music and public appearances, making it a familiar aspect of his public image.

Odumeje, meanwhile, is the founder of Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention Deliverance Ministry in Onitsha, Anambra State. The outspoken preacher is widely known for his dramatic style of ministry and colourful titles, including “Indaboski Bahose” and “Liquid Metal.”

The sight of the award-winning musician and the flamboyant cleric interacting at the same event caught the attention of social media users, with many finding the encounter amusing.

Their interaction also generated comments about the contrast between Burna Boy’s public persona and Odumeje’s identity as a religious leader. The moment has continued to attract attention online, with viewers sharing different reactions to the unexpected meeting.
