Burna Boy kicks couple out from Concert for Falling Asleep During Performance

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy (Damini Ogulu) ignited controversy on Wednesday night after reportedly asking a couple to leave his concert in Denver, United States, for allegedly sleeping during his performance.

The incident occurred when the singer paused his set and singled out a male fan, instructing him to take his girlfriend “home” for dozing off during the show.

“When I stand up here [on the stage] and see you over there with your girl sleeping in the front of me, it pisses me the fk up. So, please, take her the fk home… Walahi I’m not performing another song till you go home,” Burna Boy reportedly said.

Initially reluctant, the couple eventually left after the audience began urging them to exit, allowing Burna Boy to resume his performance.

The incident has sparked mixed reactions online, with some criticizing the singer for removing ticket holders from his concert over what many consider trivial reasons.

This is not the first time Burna Boy has made headlines for asking fans to leave his shows. He has previously ejected a starstruck male fan who rushed the stage for a hug and another fan for not dancing during a performance.

The singer has developed a reputation for controversially removing concertgoers for minor perceived slights, a pattern that continues to draw both criticism and fascination from fans worldwide.
