Daniel Regha criticises Burna Boy’s outfit at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. He says Burna Boy missed a chance to showcase Nigerian heritage like Fela Kuti would have.
Daniel Regha has sparked fresh conversations after calling out Burna Boy over his outfit at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. The social media commentator believes the Grammy-winning singer missed a golden chance to proudly display Nigerian and African culture on one of the world’s biggest stages. His opinion has since divided fans across social media.
Burna Boy performed alongside Colombian superstar Shakira during the World Cup final. The pair thrilled the global audience with their hit collaboration, “Dai Dai.” While many people praised the performance, Regha focused on Burna Boy’s fashion choice instead. According to him, the singer should have worn clothing inspired by traditional Nigerian or African fabrics.
Sharing his thoughts on X, Regha wrote:
“Burna couldn’t even use the opportunity to showcase his Nigerian-African heritage by styling in a proper fabric inspired outfit. Fela would’ve represented.”
He also referenced Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, saying the late music icon would have proudly embraced his cultural roots on such a global platform. Meanwhile, Regha’s comments have triggered mixed reactions online. Some fans agreed that Burna Boy should have promoted Nigerian heritage through his outfit. Others argued that the singer had every right to express himself through his personal style.
The debate has once again raised questions about whether Nigerian artistes should always use international events to promote the country’s rich cultural identity.
