Nigerian Afrobeats megastar Burna Boy found himself at the center of controversy once again after he stopped his concert in Denver on Wednesday night to eject a couple, one of whom was allegedly sleeping during his performance.
The drama unfolded when the singer spotted a woman apparently asleep. Visibly upset, Burna Boy halted the show and told her partner to “take her home,” insisting he would not continue performing until they exited the venue.
After some hesitation, the couple eventually complied and left the venue amid chants from the crowd. Burna Boy then resumed his performance, but the incident quickly went viral, sparking backlash online. Many critics accused the artist of disrespecting ticket holders and displaying arrogance.
Pattern of Onstage Controversy
This latest episode adds to Burna Boy’s growing list of onstage controversies. In the past, the Grammy winner has been known to abruptly stop shows to address fans.
- He previously kicked out a fan who attempted to hug him during a performance.
- On another occasion, he confronted and ejected a fan who wasn’t dancing during his show.
Critics argue that his behavior demonstrates a lack of regard for his paying audience, while his staunch supporters claim he is simply upholding his standard of demanding full energy and engagement from his crowd.
