Nigerian singer Burna Boy has cancelled a scheduled stop on his No Sign of Weakness tour in the United States.
The concert was set for Friday, November 28, 2025, at The Armory in Minneapolis. The cancellation was listed on Ticketmaster on Thursday, November 27.
Tour officials have not provided a detailed explanation for the cancellation.
The announcement comes following widespread online attention to an incident at a recent performance.
Earlier this month, Burna Boy paused a show after noticing a fan in the front row who appeared to be asleep.
Video footage shared online shows him asking the fan’s companion to escort her from the venue before he continued performing.
The incident drew significant public attention and criticism, particularly after reports suggested the fan had recently experienced a personal loss.
In response to the online reaction, Burna Boy addressed the situation during a livestream, dismissing critics and stating that he is focusing on fans who can afford his tickets.
Some fans and observers have debated whether the singer’s comments indicate a disconnect with parts of his audience. This is not the first time Burna Boy has faced scrutiny over interactions with fans at his shows.
Past reports indicate that he asked a fan to leave the stage for approaching him and confronted another audience member for not dancing, though no formal apology was issued in either case.
Industry analysts note that such controversies may influence perceptions of how artists engage with their audiences.
Musicians often rely on loyal fans for both support and revenue, and public reactions to incidents like this can shape future attendance and engagement.
Additionally, a video circulating online purportedly shows an empty arena during one of Burna Boy’s recent US shows in Houston. The video has prompted online discussion about ticket sales and attendance; however, these claims have not been independently verified.
