There was mild drama at Burna Boy’s concert in Denver after the artist paused his performance to address an unusual situation — a fan’s girlfriend appeared to have fallen asleep during his set.

The incident took place at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre on November 12, 2025. In the middle of his performance, Burna Boy suddenly stopped singing after noticing a woman in the audience who seemed to be dozing off. Pointing at her, he told the man beside her — presumably her boyfriend — to take her home.

At first, the couple seemed hesitant, as someone nearby tried to speak up, explaining that the lady was awake and not actually sleeping. But Burna Boy wasn’t having it. He insisted they leave and reportedly said, “Walahi, I am not doing another song until they leave!”

The crowd reacted with mixed sounds of surprise and laughter as security personnel approached. One of them was seen gently pulling the woman up by the hand before she and her partner were quietly escorted out of the venue. Burna Boy briefly bounced off stage and raised another song immediately after the couple left — and the crowd went wild as he resumed his performance.

Clips of the moment quickly went viral across social media, sparking mixed reactions among fans and online users.

While Burna Boy is known for his strong stage presence and frequent interactions with fans, this particular episode came across as a lighthearted — yet public — call-out. It contrasted with some of his past incidents, such as abruptly ending performances or confronting fans who breached stage security.

However, some critics argued that if Burna Boy wanted the couple to leave, he should have refunded their ticket money, since they paid to attend the concert and had the right to behave as they wished — provided they weren’t disturbing anyone or breaking any rules.

this one that denied his God and Lord and Saviour because of voodoo performed by one Imam, thus converting to Islam.

Na only abroad dem dey behave well, just imagine wetin he for do Nigerian girl.

Oyinbo people wey no dy slow go court. He can actually be sued for that singular act

Burna Boy is not serious.

After they bought tickets, he can't tell them what to do.

This dude and pride ehn!

Her falling asleep doesn’t automatically mean the music was dull it just means something was off for her personally, not necessarily for the whole show.

People can fall asleep at concerts for many reasons that have nothing to do with the artist’s performance, exhaustion, alcohol, long work hours, altitude, or even personal circumstances.

A more measured approach could have been ignoring it or checking if she was okay instead of demanding removal.

She want to disturb his flow, he did the right thing or probably she was abusing her boyfriend by following him around even to places she doesn't want to go... Na there work to dey do follow follow.

we Nigerians do too much. Those fans paid for the concert and can sleep off if tired it's none of his business to ask them to leave aslong as there is no security risk.

He should refund them their ticket or he can get sued.

Even you give me free ticket for burner show I no go...

Better wizkid than this rubbish

I will tear the ticket

Rubbish!

What nonsense thing

ontop my ticket you still dey pursue me go house alhaji burna

We just like drama too much. Did they not pay to attend his concert?

Sue him and cash out big time.. it's not exploitation, it's your damn right to be fully refunded and paid for emotional trauma, physical and verbal intimidation, oppression, busybody etc.. people like these will do worse in power

Don’t read too much into it, it’s show business and most likely staged by the organisers to generate publicity for the Burna US tour

No it's not rubbish..

You can't be sleeping when I'm performing... Unless you wan ruin the whole mood for that party...

She gotta go...

Go sleep for house...

She was obviously not enjoying the show and rather than for fans to say Burna"s show was boring, he turned the story around in his favour

like pastors too they are all performers

This one wan form say e care for women...but ended up making a nuisance of himself ....e show say the crowd small well well , for am to notice person wey de sleep to e song

This one na over reach. Wetin consign Burna in this one?

They have paid and they earn the right to stay if they are disturbing no one.

Burna felt insulted, as if the girlfriend was suggesting his prtformsnce was very boring.

If it was boring, the lady should have simply said so. Nothing wrong in saying the truth, and you have every right to run as fast as you can when Burna chases you down the street with a machete.

Burna, That thing you're thinking about is true.

Your music was boring. That was why she slept off.

Since This P Diddy Baby Oil Boy Became Muslim, it's a Total Disconnect , No Wonder He Has Become So Arrogant, Proud And Disrespectful

adamkkk:
this one that denied his God and Lord and Saviour because of voodoo performed by one Imam, thus converting to Islam.

I nor get time for e music again

I have never really seen him as a godtier act.

I think foreigners love his songs for its uniqueness, but I personally isn't blown.

Since you are not enjoying what you pay for no more then you leave

You can't understand the why and it's fine.

Even if the concert was a free one, does that action makes sense
