He captioned the video, “Ayra Starr is nothing but an uncultured lady”

She could be seen in the video being introduced to the men who were sat next to Burna Boy’s mother.

Her greeting should have been made on her knees, according to Yoruba tradition and their honorific position.

The young artist, however, stood and greeted them by shaking hands.

This outraged many Netizens, who thought she was rude and not a true daughter of the soil.
