Burna Boy reportedly cancels tour shows over low-ticket sales amid viral ‘sleeping fans’ video
Nigerian Afrobeat superstar, Burna Boy has reportedly cancelled five arena dates from his ongoing ‘NSOW Tour’ following low ticket sales.
According to multiple reports, fans stopped buying tickets after a controversial video went viral showing Burna Boy ejecting fans from his show for “sleeping” during his performance.
The incident sparked heavy backlash online, with many accusing the singer of disrespecting his supporters and being full of himself.
Since then, ticket sales for several cities have reportedly dropped, forcing the team to quietly remove some dates from the tour schedule.
The Grammy-award winning singer publicly apologised during one of his recent shows in Dallas, saying, “I’m sorry, please. I apologise to everyone, it was a slip of the tongue.”
The cancelled dates have fueled conversations about whether the viral drama affected Burna Boy’s tour momentum and overall public perception.
The situation continues to trend as fans debate whether the backlash from the viral video is impacting Burna Boy’s tour success or not.
