In the ever-dramatic world of Nigerian entertainment, where relationships can shift faster than a DJ switching tracks at a Lagos nightclub, a new scandal has taken center stage. This time, the spotlight falls on Sophie Egbueje, a 28-year-old model, entrepreneur, and socialite whose name has been making the rounds, thanks to a leaked voice note that has set social media ablaze.
Who is Sophie Egbueje?
Before this controversy catapulted her into the headlines, Sophie Egbueje was a rising figure in Nigeria’s fashion and social scene. Born on June 1, 1996, in Lagos State, Nigeria, she hails from Umuoji town in Anambra State and was raised in a well-educated household. A former student of Queens’ College, Lagos, and a graduate of Covenant University, Sophie carved out a niche for herself as an entrepreneur, running a fashion brand while leveraging social media to showcase her lifestyle.
However, it wasn’t until this messy entanglement involving Burna Boy, Ama Reginald, and a mysteriously undelivered Lamborghini that Sophie became a household name.
The Burna Boy Voicenote Leak: What Happened?
It all started when an explosive 40-minute voicenote surfaced, allegedly featuring Sophie recounting her version of events surrounding Burna Boy and a circle of high-profile figures. According to her claims, Ama Reginald-once a friend-along with her boyfriend, King Manny, and a club owner known as Bayrock, convinced Sophie to pursue a romantic rendezvous with Burna Boy. The supposed reward? A luxury car, widely rumored to be a Lamborghini.
Trusting their word, Sophie allegedly went ahead with the plan. But after the encounter, the African Giant reportedly vanished into thin air—no follow-up, no car, not even a text. Feeling blindsided, Sophie found herself not only empty-handed but also betrayed by the very people who had encouraged the situation.
The betrayal didn’t stop there. While Sophie waited for the promised Lamborghini, Ama Reginald was allegedly seen partying with Burna Boy and his rumored new flame, American singer Chloe Bailey. The revelation sent Sophie into a spiral of frustration, with the leaked voice note painting a picture of deceit and manipulation within the socialite scene.
She said she fulfilled her end of the bargain “They sha n***d” but he didn’t fulfil his, That said, his inner circle’s been active. His best friend Manny, King Manny, the same guy Sophie named reportedly laughed off the allegations on social media, treating it like a joke. Manny’s ex, Caramel, threw shade at Sophie, calling her naive for expecting anything from such a setup.
The Bigger Picture
This saga extends beyond personal drama; it shines a light on the power dynamics within celebrity culture, where promises are made and discarded as casually as party invitations. Sophie’s alleged experience, if true, reflects the fascination with status, the risks of trust in high-profile circles, and the blurred lines between personal ambition and exploitation.
And then there’s Burna Boy – one of Africa’s biggest musical exports whose name continues to surface in tales of unpaid debts, ghosting, and now, a Lamborghini that never materialized. Perhaps the lesson here is simple: when dealing with the rich and famous, always get your promises in writing… or at least in car keys.
For now, the matter is still a she said-he said showdown with the truth likely to be Sophie’s hurt or Burna’s indifference.
