Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy addressed claims that he has been “cancelled” during his concert at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena.
His comments appeared to respond to ongoing social media discussions, suggesting the artist has faced backlash following a recent concert incident.
Burna Boy had previously attracted criticism after a video emerged showing him asking a fan, who seemed to be sleeping, to be escorted out of his show. The situation intensified when many felt his subsequent response did not amount to a proper apology.
Recall that Intelregion reported Burna Boy had canceled some of his shows due to low ticket sales.
However, while performing to a packed crowd in Toronto, the Afrobeats superstar made a striking remark that quickly went viral. Speaking to fans mid-performance, Burna Boy said:
Despite online criticism and calls for accountability, Burna Boy’s comment in Toronto conveyed confidence in his enduring relevance and the loyalty of his global fanbase.
His ongoing international tour, drawing large crowds in major cities, has been cited by supporters as proof that the “cancellation” narrative may be overstated.
