Burna Boy Halts US Show, Orders Man to Take Sleeping Babe Home Before Performing, Video Trends
- Nigerian singer Burna Boy paused his Denver concert after spotting a lady sleeping in the front row
- The Grammy winner refused to continue performing until the woman and her boyfriend left
- Fans recalled when he kicked a man out of his 2019 Atlanta show for not vibing enough
- A Nigerian entertainment fan who does not want his name published insisted that he would have left the concert if it were him
Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar, Burna Boy, has found himself in an online drama after a video from his recent performance trended.
The Afrofusion star, currently on his “No Sign of Weakness” world tour, stopped his Denver, USA concert midway after noticing something that clearly didn’t sit well with him.
In a now-viral clip shared online by @Hypetribeng, Burna Boy, who just converted to Islam, is seen halting his energetic performance to call out the sleeping fan, demanding that her boyfriend take her home immediately.

The audience initially thought Burna Boy was joking, but he quickly made it clear that he wasn’t.
In his words, he said,
“I am doing no more song until you take her home. Walahi, they must go.”
The hall went silent for a few seconds before laughter and whispers filled the air. The Grammy winner stood his ground, refusing to continue until the security escorted the couple out of the venue.
According to reports, the singer wanted the atmosphere to remain lively and energetic, something he insists on at all his shows.
This isn’t the first time Burna Boy has asked fans to leave his concert.
In 2019, during a performance in Atlanta, the “Last Last” crooner refunded a fan’s ticket money and asked him to leave for not being “vibey enough.”

@TerfaTG:
"They paid what looks like a front row ticket. The lady looks high or drunk but was not unruly or disturbing other fans. Bruh, I’m going nowhere. If you like make you no perform."
@seyi___vibez:
"Burna really said, “Not tonight, you’re taking her home first” Absolute legend energy!"
@Itata_9
"One thing about Burna, whether na Naija or abroad, e go put you in your place. It's very frustrating to see "fans" uninterested in your performance. They even had front row seats that other people at the concert would've appreciated. I would've told them to go home too"

I would have left the concert - Fan
A Nigerian entertainment fan who does not want his name published insisted that he would have left the concert if it were him.
He stated:
"If it were me, honestly, I wouldn’t have left. I paid for my ticket, and if I was tired or unwell, that shouldn’t be a crime. But with Burna’s temperament and how strict he can be about his shows, I probably wouldn’t argue too much."
