Low ticket sales, following controversy over fan ejection, force the Grammy winner to quietly scrap five dates from his “NSOW Tour.”
Nigerian Afrobeat superstar Burna Boy has been forced to cancel five arena dates on his ongoing ‘NSOW Tour,’ with industry reports pointing to a sharp decline in ticket sales following a recent public relations crisis.
The cancellations come in the wake of a viral video that showed the Grammy-award winning artist ejecting attendees from one of his concerts for appearing to be “sleeping” during his performance. The clip sparked immediate and intense backlash online, with many fans accusing the singer of arrogance and disrespect toward the very supporters who fuel his success.

According to multiple reports, ticket sales for several cities plummeted after the incident went viral.
This drop in demand reportedly led his tour management to quietly remove five shows from the schedule. The cancellations have fueled widespread debate about the tangible consequences of the controversy and whether it has damaged the artist’s rapport with his audience.
In a move seen as damage control, Burna Boy publicly addressed the ejection incident during a recent show in Dallas. “I’m sorry, please. I apologise to everyone, it was a slip of the tongue,” he told the crowd.
Despite this apology, the conversation continues to trend, leaving the industry and fans alike to question if the viral drama has permanently dented the tour’s momentum and altered the public’s perception of the global star.
