Thursday, November 20, 2025 - Nigerian Afrobeat icon, Burna Boy, stirred controversy after declaring that he is only looking for fans with money.
During Instagram Live session, the Grammy-winning artist bluntly declared: “Did I tell you all to be my fans? I am only looking for fans who have money this period.”
His statement came in the wake of backlash from his November
12th concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, where he
publicly ejected a couple after spotting the woman asleep during his
performance.
The incident quickly went viral, prompting heated debates
about respect and engagement at live shows.
Addressing critics, Burna Boy defended his actions and
explained his controversial comment.
He insisted he was not “begging for support,” describing
this phase of his career as “very, very treacherous.”
According to him, true fans should invest both emotionally
and financially in his journey.
The remarks have sparked mixed reactions on social media.
Some argued that artists pour immense energy into
performances and deserve audiences who reciprocate with enthusiasm and
commitment while others accused Burna Boy of being proud and arrogant.
