Wake Up Or Get Out!” – Burna Boy Kicks Sleeping Couple Out Of His Concert Mid-Performance

Nigerian megastar, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, caused a stir during his concert in Denver, United States, on Wednesday night after asking a couple to leave for allegedly falling asleep mid-performance.

The Grammy Award-winning singer halted his electrifying set after spotting the pair in the front row appearing disengaged.

Visibly displeased, Burna Boy paused the music and instructed the man to escort his girlfriend out of the venue, saying he would not continue the show until they left.

“When I stand up here [on stage] and see you over there with your girl sleeping in front of me, it pisses me the fk off. So please, take her the fk home. Walahi, I’m not performing another song till you go home,” he declared to the crowd.

Although the couple initially hesitated, the audience joined Burna Boy in urging them to leave, and they eventually walked out. The “African Giant” resumed his performance afterward, receiving loud cheers from the audience.

This is not the first time Burna Boy has ejected fans during his concerts. In previous shows, he has asked a male fan to leave the stage after an unexpected hug and another for refusing to dance along to his music.

Meanwhile, Burna Boy continues to break boundaries on the global stage. He recently made history as the first Nigerian artist to earn five career Grammy nominations in album categories, with his latest project, No Sign of Weakness (2025), securing a nod for Best Global Music Album at the upcoming Grammy Awards.
