The global run of Burna Boy’s ‘No Sign of Weakness Tour’ has reportedly slowed.
Reports now claim that five arena dates have been quietly pulled out after a noticeable slump in ticket sales.
It is believed that the cancellation is unconnected to a widely circulated video capturing Burna Boy halting his performance during a US show to confront a woman who appeared to be sleeping in the front row.

In the clip, Burna Boy paused the music, addressed the fan in front of thousands, and her boyfriend eventually escorted her out.
Shortly after, another old video resurfaced, where Burna Boy stated that he prefers “rich fans” and that he doesn’t beg anyone to support him.
