Nigerian Afrobeat superstar Burna Boy has reportedly cancelled five arena dates from his ongoing “NSOW Tour” due to declining ticket sales.
According to multiple reports, sales dropped sharply after a viral video showed Burna Boy pausing his performance to call out and eject fans he believed were “sleeping” during his show. The incident sparked major backlash online, with many accusing the singer of disrespecting his audience.
Backlash Leads to Ticket Drop
Following the controversy, ticket purchases reportedly dipped across several cities, prompting Burna Boy’s team to quietly remove some dates from the tour lineup.
Despite the negative reactions, Burna Boy addressed the issue during a recent show in Dallas, offering a public apology:
“I’m sorry, please. I apologize to everyone. It was a slip of the tongue.”

The cancellations have fueled discussions about whether the viral moment has impacted Burna Boy’s public perception and the momentum of his tour.
Fans and critics continue to debate the extent to which the backlash has contributed to struggling ticket sales.
