Burna Boy, the music star, has come under fire on social media for insulting fans at his Lagos concert.
The ‘African Giant’ crooner was scheduled to perform at his concert in Lagos on Sunday night.
But the singer did not show up early as expected, leaving many of his fans angry.
It is understood that the singer arrived at the concert — billed to start by 9 pm on Sunday — around 4 am on Monday.
When Burna Boy eventually turned up, he was seen calling out some of his fans for accusing him of shooting someone at a Lagos nightclub and claiming his mother once danced for Fela.
The ‘Last Last’ singer said he would not have shown up for the concert if not for Seyi Vibez who convinced him.
“Just to show you say I still love una. If not for Seyi Vibez, I for don dey go house,” he said.
“But I dey here for una, after una don talk say I kill person for Cubana, after una talk say my mama dance for Fela, after una don talk say…no wahala, I still love you, na why I still dey here, if you like no love me, na God go punish you.”
Burna Boy openly disrespecting the people that paid their hard earned money to watch him perform in Nigeria.
Disgraceful and condescending behaviour.
This man has toured the world and never for once did he insult the fans, but Nigeria is where shit happens.
