Burna Boy’s public appreciation comes at a challenging time in his global tour run.
The singer recently cancelled several arena shows due to low ticket sales.
The cancellations came on the heels of a viral incident in which he ordered a sleeping female fan and her boyfriend out of his US concert.
The video drew widespread criticism and led to conversations about his attitude toward supporters.
Those events, many social media users believe, may have contributed to the softer tone he displayed in Boston.

"He was made famous, rich, and given a platform by the Christians. His music and show tickets are purchased by Christians. Muslims have banned music in their homes because they don't like it and don't go to his shows. This man, Burnaboy, woke up and denounced Christianity, claiming he joined Islam in search of truth. It's a disgrace."
