Nigerian Afrobeat sensation Damini Ogulu, known worldwide as Burna Boy, has addressed the backlash following a controversial incident at his concert in Morrison, Colorado. On November 12, 2025, the singer reportedly asked a male fan to escort his girlfriend out of the venue after she was seen sleeping during the performance, a move that ignited a heated discussion online.
Burna Boy’s reaction to the fan’s behavior was rooted in frustration, as he expected his audience to be fully engaged while he performed. The incident quickly went viral, drawing a wave of criticism from social media users who felt the couple was treated unfairly.
Responding to the uproar on November 19, 2025, Burna Boy doubled down on his actions, making it clear he has no regrets. He emphasized that he does not owe anyone the right to be his fan and highlighted that at this stage of his career, he prioritizes supporters who are financially well-off.
The statement has further fueled online debates, with many fans urging the music star to apologize for his handling of the situation, while others defend his stance, arguing that performers have the right to demand respect from their audience.
As the discussion continues, Burna Boy’s firm position seems unlikely to waver, keeping the conversation about fan expectations and concert etiquette at the center of social media chatter.
