Days ago, Nigerian dance-hall singer Burna Boy released a new song ” Acting Bad ” and took to micro-blogging platform Twitter to promote the song.
However, Burna Boy acknowledge the effort of producer of that track Orbeat, who also produced “ Soke ” and worked on his forthcoming album.
“Acting Bad” was actually made in January 2015. I know it’s 🔥🔥 but It is not my new single,its unfinished nd has been leaked somehow.

The producer however lashed out on Twitter saying that the song shouldn’t have been released without his consent especially because he hasn’t been paid fully for his works.
THIS MATERIAL WAS RELEASED ILLEGALLY. I FIND THIS INSULTING. https://t.co/vc1sz0qU8s
