Afrobeats superstar Ebunoluwa Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, is back in the spotlight after a new video from his U.S. tour stirred mixed reactions online.
The Grammy-winning artiste performed at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, on November 22, but footage from the event has raised eyebrows across social media.
Despite the venue’s 18,000-seat capacity, reports claim that only about 2,000 tickets were sold, and the video appears to reflect that.
In the circulating clip, a woman was seen fast asleep during the concert, surrounded by rows of empty seats.
While a small number of fans sat scattered around the arena, the dozing attendee seemed completely unbothered by the booming speakers or Burna Boy’s typically energetic performance.
The scene quickly sparked jokes online, with many referencing Burna Boy’s recent controversy in which he asked a grieving fan to leave one of his shows.
Commenters quipped that if the sleeping woman had been seated in the front row, she might have received similar treatment.
The viral moment has also reignited conversations about Burna Boy’s strict interactions with fans, especially after older videos resurfaced showing him refunding and ejecting attendees for “discouraging” him during performances.
