burna Boy Declares He’s the Only Man “Badder Than Baltasar Engonga” in New Hit “Ta Ta Ta” Featuring Travis Scott

Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy has once again made waves in the music world — not just with his musical genius, but also with a bold and unexpected declaration. In his latest global banger “Ta Ta Ta”, a high-energy collaboration with American rapper Travis Scott, Burna Boy boldly states that he is the “only man badder than Baltasar Engonga.”
This controversial line has caused an uproar online, not just for its catchy delivery, but because of who Baltasar Engonga is — a polarizing figure from Equatorial Guinea, known for his flamboyant lifestyle and scandalous videos featuring hundreds of women.
Who Is Baltasar Engonga?

Baltasar Engonga, a powerful businessman and alleged influencer from Equatorial Guinea, rose to infamy across Africa and the diaspora due to his viral content and controversial reputation. Reports and social media clips show that he has filmed more than 400 women in exotic, lavish, and often questionable scenarios — all while showcasing wealth and luxury few in his region have ever seen.
Dubbed by some as the “Guinean Hefner” and criticized by others for promoting a toxic lifestyle, Baltasar has become both a celebrity and a cautionary tale. His name is known across West and Central Africa, especially among youth who follow social media trends and “soft life” influencers.
So, when Burna Boy called him out by name, people took notice.
Burna Boy’s Line That Shook the Internet
In the chorus of Ta Ta Ta, Burna Boy sings:
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta
Ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta
Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta, ayy
Badder than Baltasar Engonga
Magnificent performance
I dey perform on top your woman, she go conform (Conform)
Fans on social media exploded with reactions — some cheering Burna for being fearless, while others asked if he had beef with Baltasar, or if it was just creative swagger.
“Ta Ta Ta” – A Global Anthem of Swagger and Showbiz
“Ta Ta Ta” itself is an Afro-trap masterpiece. Produced by top Nigerian beatmaker Kel-P, the track blends Burna Boy’s rhythmic fire with Travis Scott’s auto-tuned flow and ad-libs. The song’s lyrics celebrate wealth, power, love, and dominance — with plenty of confidence in every bar.
It’s easy to see how the name-drop fits into the larger theme of male dominance and cultural relevance. Burna Boy is claiming the throne of swagger, above any controversial celebrity, even one with such massive presence in African media.
Why Burna Boy Mentioned Baltasar — Real Beef or Metaphor?
There is no confirmed feud between Burna Boy and Baltasar Engonga. Music analysts believe Burna used the name as a metaphor — to compare himself with someone known for boldness and scandal, but to then raise himself even higher.

Burna has always embraced a strong, fearless image. From songs like Ye to Last Last, he thrives on proving his dominance in life, love, and success. This Baltasar comparison is simply another way of saying, “No one does it like me.”
Some fans, however, speculate that Burna may be sending a message — warning young African men not to idolize people like Baltasar, who chase attention through controversy rather than real talent.
Travis Scott’s Role in the Track

Travis Scott’s appearance on Ta Ta Ta is equally powerful. He brings his unique vibe and Houston-style trap energy, adding verses like:
“Ain’t no king in the jungle, we build the throne,
Me and Burna ride beats like they chrome on chrome.”
Though he doesn’t mention Baltasar himself, his presence helps amplify the cross-cultural message: African music is dominating the globe, and African artists are setting the tone — not just for sound, but for status.
Online reactions to the song and the Baltasar reference are mixed:
- Twitter/X: “Burna Boy just murdered Baltasar in one line 😂🔥🔥”
- YouTube Comments: “Respect to Burna for putting that guy in his place without even beefing.”
- Instagram Polls: Fans voted 68% in favor of Burna’s boldness, while 32% said he should have avoided mentioning someone like Baltasar.
In Equatorial Guinea, Baltasar has not yet responded, but sources say he was surprised by the mention. Some local influencers joked that Burna Boy might be invited to the country for a “man-to-man” talk — though it’s unlikely anything serious will come of it.
Once again, Burna Boy has used music to spark conversation — not just about fame and luxury, but about values, power, and representation in African pop culture. Whether you agree with the line or not, it’s clear that Burna is in control of his image and legacy.
He has managed to put the spotlight on Ta Ta Ta, bringing Africa and the world together through rhythm — and a little controversy.
Because in the end, Burna Boy isn’t just badder than Baltasar — he’s louder, prouder, and still rising higher.
