The American audience is not happy with Nigerian recording artiste, Burna Boy, and they are not willing to hide their feelings towards him.

They have refused to buy tickets for his concerts, and some fans are choosing to intentionally fall asleep at his concerts just to mock him. Six years into the emergence of the African Giant era, and he not four years after he bagged his one and only Grammy award, the apathetic personality and choleric nature of the 34-year-old musician are beginning to work against him.

Unlike the Nigerian audience that Burna Boy has berated over the years, verbally abusing and even physically assaulting some fans, American fans are taking no prisoners, and they are treating the self-acclaimed African Giant by boycotting his concerts and expressing their displeasure across various social media platforms.

Why Are Americans Cancelling Burna Boy?

A couple of weeks ago, Burna Boy chased a couple out of his concert for sleeping during his performance in Denver, Colorado, United States of America. Eelive.ng gathered that the lady whom the singer-songwriter chased out of his concert was a grieving mother.

At the concert, Burna pointed at them and snapped: “When I stand up here and see you over there with your girl sleeping … it pisses me the f*** up,” he told the man. He then added, “Wallahi, I’m not doing another song until you go home,” prompting security to escort them out.

Pride Comes Before a Fall…

Burna didn’t stop there. After he was called out for his cruel actions, he went on Instagram live to brag about only performing for those who are wealthy and can afford him.

“Did I ask you all to be my fans? I’m only looking for fans with money these days,” he said in Pidgin English, a widely spoken language in Nigeria.

He added, “These days are a very, very treacherous period.”

“I was Exhausted”- Disgraced Concertgoer Explains Side of her Story

Chaltu Jateny, the woman involved in the Denver concert incident, later explained that she had been “mentally, physically, and emotionally drained” following the recent death of her daughter’s father. Responding in the comments of a viral TikTok video, she said she had attended the concert to distract herself from the grief and depression she was experiencing.

She added that she had hoped for a brief moment of joy at the show, but fatigue got the better of her. “We paid to be there … it is my money … not his,” Jateny said, describing the public shaming as “embarrassing and humiliating” and urging fans to show more compassion, reminding everyone that you never truly know what someone else is going through.

How Burna Boy’s Insensitivity Caught Up With Him

Earlier, eelive.ng published an article detailing how the self-acclaimed African Giant often disregards his fellow countrymen and has no honour for them. Though a massively talented musician, Burna Boy’s pride is his Achilles heel; he prefers to stomp on the well-being of others rather than trying to show empathy or cater to their well-being.

Unlike the Nigerian fan whom he stomped upon his head earlier in the year and got away with it, Americans are prepared to fight the Big 7 tooth and nail until they achieve their objective, which is to obliterate his cockiness.

Conclusion: The Consequences of Bad Behaviour

As of the time of this report, it was reported that Burna Boy allegedly cancelled 5 arena dates from his ‘NSOW Tour’ because of low ticket sales, as many fans have stopped buying tickets after the controversy.

It is important that Burna learns from this mishap and develops into not only a better performer but also learn humility and treats his audience with grace and dignity.

EarthKing:
That aside... Burna should just take a break and re strategies. I think his music is being watered down in recent time.
