Nigerian singer Burna Boy responded to the strong criticism sparked by his controversial action at a concert in Denver, where he had a couple expelled after they were seen nodding off during his performance. The incident grew after the woman in the audience said she had been deeply affected by this public humiliation.
Speaking during a recent livestream on social media, Burna Boy stood by his stance, saying he wasn’t trying to please everyone and that he “wasn’t asking for fans”. “Did I beg you to be my fans? At this stage of my career, I only want well-off fans”, he said in remarks transcribed by Daily Post. These comments reignited debate about the singer’s relationship with his audience. Several online users denounced a form of contempt and some even mentioned a possible boycott.
This is not the first time Burna Boy has sparked controversy with his admirers. The artist had already made headlines after kicking a fan who climbed onstage to hug him. He had also asked a spectator to leave his concert because he wasn’t dancing. In none of these incidents did the singer apologize.
