Burna Boy Cancels Tour Following Ticket Slump

• Burna Boy has canceled five shows from his ‘NSOW Tour’ due to declining ticket sales.
• The drop in sales is linked to a viral video of Burna Boy removing fans for allegedly “sleeping” during his performance.
• The incident has led to widespread criticism, with accusations of disrespect towards his audience.

Nigerian Afrobeat sensation Burna Boy has reportedly called off five arena shows from his ongoing ‘NSOW Tour’ following a drop in ticket sales in several locations.

Reports suggest the decline came after a video circulated online showing Burna Boy removing fans from a concert for allegedly “sleeping” during his performance. The clip sparked widespread criticism, with many accusing the singer of being disrespectful toward his audience.

As a result of the backlash, interest in the remaining tour dates reportedly dwindled, prompting his team to quietly adjust the tour schedule.

During a recent performance in Dallas, the Grammy-winning artist addressed the controversy, apologizing to fans and asking for their understanding. He stated: “I know my ticket sales are suffering since that incident. Even the coffee I introduced no one is buying. So please, I am sorry to everyone and everything I said. It was a slip of tongue.”

In other news, Nigerian rapper Olamide Baddo has clarified that he is not shy, countering a common misconception. Speaking on the ‘Ada’s Room’ podcast, he explained that his reserved nature is often mistaken for shyness. “One thing I wish people could understand about me is I am not shy, I am just laid back,” he said.
