Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy (Damini Ogulu) made headlines during his Colorado concert after pausing his performance to confront a fan whose girlfriend appeared to be sleeping during the show.
A viral video captured the Grammy-winning artist stopping mid-performance to address the crowd with frustration.
“We’re doing this because we love you. So when I see you over there with your girl sleeping in front of me, it pisses me off. Take her home. Fast. I’m not doing another song until you go,” he said.
The audience reacted immediately, with some fans urging the couple to leave while others begged Burna Boy to continue. One fan shouted, “Please, it’s my birthday!” but the singer remained firm. Security eventually escorted the couple out, allowing the concert to resume.
The incident has since gone viral, sparking mixed reactions online. Some defended Burna Boy, praising his demand for energy and respect from his audience, while others criticized his response as over the top.
Known for his passionate stage presence, Burna Boy has previously confronted fans he perceives as disrespectful during his performances.
