Burna Boy Has Reportedly Canceled Five Dates On His U.S. Tour

Nigerian Afrobeats artist Burna Boy has reportedly canceled five upcoming shows on his ongoing No Sign of Weakness (NSOW) Tour in the United States, citing low ticket sales as the reason for these changes.

The cancellations coincide with reports of a controversial incident that may have influenced public perception of the artist.

The affected shows, which were scheduled in cities such as Boston, Washington, D.C., New York, Atlanta, and Orlando, are now listed as canceled. Sources indicate that ticket sales for these events declined significantly after a video emerged online, showing Burna Boy allegedly removing fans from a concert for “sleeping.”

The footage has generated considerable criticism on social media, with many fans accusing the artist of disrespecting his audience. Analysts suggest that the negative publicity may have played a role in the reported drop in ticket sales, leading the tour team to modify the schedule.

The remainder of the NSOW Tour is expected to continue as planned, though attention will now turn to the performance of upcoming shows at the box office. Burna Boy and his management have not issued an official statement regarding the cancellations or the incident.
