Burna Boy has reaffirmed his decision to kick a fan out of his show after he caught her sleeping during his performance at Red Rocks in Denver, Colorado.
The singer addressed the backlash in a lengthy Instagram post on Wednesday, insisting he stood by his actions.
Recall Dockaysworld reported that Burna boy had ordered the young woman’s boyfriend to take her home or he wouldn’t perform anymore.
“I understand the agenda against me and I came to terms with it a long time ago so my skin is bulletproof at this point, I wasn’t gunna address this but… if you make the pilot uncomfortable in a plane you bought a ticket for, you will be deboarded or arrested as soon as you land, you pay school fees but you will be kicked out of class if you make it uncomfortable for the teacher to do his job,” he wrote.
Defending his conduct, Burna said even some of his most vulnerable supporters remain fully alert and engaged during his shows.
“My shows have people who have beaten Cancer or overcame something very serious e.t.c and none of them have ever slept lol. I leave my soul on every stage I get on even if it’s only 10 people in attendance and I will gladly be cancelled if we are now in a world where you can treat me like a stripper, slap my ass and tell me to keep dancing cuz you throw $100 at me.”
He also reacted to the online backlash, including criticism from U.S. rapper Eminem, noting that negative narratives about him trend far faster than anything positive.
“They never post any of the good I do in this world but they go wild and viral when they feel I’ve finally ‘fucked up’,” he wrote. “I’ve seen people who NEVER even acknowledged my existence before now posting how ‘This is Not cool’ or writing think pieces on me now. Astagfirullah. Everybody on the internet is perfect and holy except BURNA BOY.”
The singer also addressed a trending report about him based off a viral video which showed him stating that he hadn’t forced anyone to be his fan and was only interested in the rich ones.
“Btw I was joking around with my band about some thing else. Not necessarily this situation and y’all have spun it as usual saying ‘Burna boy doesn’t love his fans’. If you hate me so much either kill me or leave me alone.”
Burna Boy said he is dealing with his own struggles privately and rarely asks for public sympathy.
“I’m fighting my own battles and I never come out here to look for pity or help. I Love who loves me and respect who respects me. Free Sudan, Free Congo, Free Nigeria.”
He added that he may not always be right but stands by his feelings.
“I Sincerely Apologise if I’m wrong, I’m not always right but I feel right about this. Anyway I’m just human so f*ck me.”
