Burna Boy asked a couple to leave his concert for allegedly sleeping
Nigerian artiste Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, asked a couple to leave his concert in Denver, United States, on the night of November 12, 2025, for allegedly sleeping during his performance.
The drama unfolded when the Nigerian musician paused his set and asked a male fan to take his girlfriend home for sleeping while he was performing.
In a video circulating on social media, Burna Boy told the couple that seeing the guy’s girlfriend asleep while he was on stage “pisses him off.”
He warned the crowd that he would not continue performing unless the couple left the venue.

“When I stand up here [on the stage] and see you over there with your girl sleeping in front of me, it pisses me the f..k off. So, please, take her the f..k home… Walahi, I’m not performing another song until you go home,” Burna Boy said.
At first, the couple, especially the woman, was reluctant, but they eventually left after the crowd demanded it. Burna Boy resumed his performance after they exited.
This is not the first time Burna Boy has made headlines for such incidents. He previously kicked a starstruck male fan who jumped on stage to hug him during the Greater Lagos 2024 concert. At the time, he explained that he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
In an Instagram post, Burna Boy warned fans against jumping on stage during his performances because of his PTSD:
“Everybody knows my rule about getting on stage and startling me when I’m performing. I had an amazing time with Lagos State last night. Don’t jump on my stage like that! I got PTSD. I love you all. Happy new year,” he wrote.
