Burna Boy's Controversial Moments: A Look At The Afrobeats Star's Most Notorious Incidents

Highly acclaimed Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, Burna Boy, commemorated his 33rd birthday today amidst reflections on some of his most controversial moments that have stirred headlines and debates.

A notable instance dates back to the 2017 incident involving singer 2kay, who was barbarically assaulted by unidentified assailants at the prestigious Eko Hotel. The altercation followed Burna Boy’s confrontation with 2kay over a contentious social media post. Allegations emerged linking Burna Boy to the violent episode, intensifying public scrutiny.

Another contentious event occurred in 2019 during Burna Boy’s concert in Atlanta. A video surfaced showing the singer refunding a fan and instructing him to exit the venue simply because he wasn’t dancing. The footage went viral, sparking a wave of criticism towards Burna Boy’s actions.

In May 2022, Burna Boy faced backlash after purportedly authorizing his security team to fire gunshots at Cubana Nightclub attendees, resulting in injuries to several individuals. Eyewitnesses recounted the events, with Briella Neme detailing how a disagreement led to her partner and friend being shot, implicating Burna Boy’s involvement.

During his Love Damini concert in Lagos in January 2023, Burna Boy faced backlash for arriving late and subsequently berating attendees, asserting that he would have abandoned the event were it not for fellow artist Seyi Vibes. His comments sparked controversy online, with fans expressing disappointment in the artist’s behavior.

Further controversy ensued during the same concert when Burna Boy physically kicked a fan attempting to climb onto the stage. The incident ignited debate on social media, dividing opinions on Burna Boy’s response to the overeager fan.
