Burna Boy Cancels US Shows After Ticket Sales Plunge

Promoters pulled the plug on multiple arena-dates on Burna Boy’s “No Sign of Weakness” tour after what they described as unsatisfactory ticket purchases. The cancellations came less than 48 hours after a controversial concert incident in the United States sparked widespread online criticism.

Among the cancelled stops was the show scheduled for November 28, 2025 at The Armory in Minneapolis  confirmation appeared on the official ticketing site on November 27.

Fan Backlash and Viral Incident Fuel Decline

The poor turnout is linked to strong backlash over a viral video from a recent concert in which Burna Boy allegedly halted his performance to eject a woman from the crowd  reportedly because she was asleep.

That moment triggered fierce criticism across social media, with many fans calling the action insensitive, especially after reports suggesting the woman had suffered a personal loss.

Although the star has not officially addressed the cancellations, some reports suggest that the decline in ticket demand  combined with reputational damage  forced organisers’ hands.

What’s Next for the Tour

It remains unclear whether other dates on the North American leg of the tour will be affected. A few sources indicate that some shows outside the cancelled venues may still go ahead, though with uncertainty hanging over fan response.

Industry watchers say the situation underscores how quickly public sentiment  amplified by social media  can derail even major concert tours, especially when controversies involve fans.

With refund notices issued to those who had already secured tickets, the cancellations mark a rare stumble for an artist of Burna Boy’s global standing  and a stark reminder that audience support can never be taken for granted.
