Burna Boy, the music star, has come under fire on social media for insulting fans at his Lagos concert.
The ‘African Giant’ crooner was scheduled to perform at his concert in Lagos on Sunday night.
But the singer did not show up early as expected, leaving many of his fans angry.
It is understood that the singer arrived at the concert — billed to start by 9 pm on Sunday — around 4 am on Monday.
When Burna Boy eventually turned up, he was seen calling out some of his fans for accusing him of shooting someone at a Lagos nightclub and claiming his mother once danced for Fela.
The ‘Last Last’ singer said he would not have shown up for the concert if not for Seyi Vibez who convinced him.
“Just to show you say I still love una. If not for Seyi Vibez, I for don dey go house,” he said.
“But I dey here for una, after una don talk say I kill person for Cubana, after una talk say my mama dance for Fela, after una don talk say…no wahala, I still love you, na why I still dey here, if you like no love me, na God go punish you.”
In another video, he also slammed fans for cursing him in the past. He added that if not for his love for them, he would not have performed at the show.
“Omo, no cap ooo, this is just to minimise they day when una dey curse me. If I dey lie right now, make God punish me, if no lie make God punish you. If na you be me, you no go come back. I no fit vex for una, I love una too much,” he added.
His action has continued to elicit reactions on Twitter, with many users tackling him for disrespecting his fans in Nigeria.

Musicians Celine Dion, Dua Lipa, and Aya Nakamura are set to perform live at the 2024 Paris Olympics, which will take place in Paris, France.
The Olympics, held every four years, will run from Friday, July 26, 2024, to Sunday, August 11, 2024.
Musical performances from celebrities are not a new phenomenon at the Olympics. This tradition began in the 20th century, with the first performance dating back to 1896 in Athens, Greece.
According to guardian.ng, this year, Celine Dion, Dua Lipa, and Aya Nakamura will grace the Olympic stage with their performances.
The Olympics is one of the most-watched sporting events globally, with billions of people tuning in to watch.
Performing at the Olympics gives the artists a significant boost in their global exposure, potentially gaining them a new following.
Additionally, being selected to perform at the Olympics is seen as a stamp of approval for an artist’s talent and accomplishments. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cement their names in history.
Adding to the excitement, Jin, a member of the popular South Korean boy band BTS, will be one of the torchbearers for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Jin’s participation in the torch relay automatically makes him an ambassador for his country at this international sports event.
The opening ceremony of the Olympics is scheduled to take place on 26th July 2024 in Paris, France while the closing ceremony is slated for 11th August 2024.
For the first time in the competition’s history, this year’s opening ceremony, directed by Thomas Jolly, will be held outside an Olympics stadium.
The ceremony is estimated to have about six hundred thousand spectators in attendance and broadcast to 80 giant screens in public.
The 1750-capacity hall opened in 1968 and has served as a tour stop for various legends, including Adele, Lady Gaga and the Rolling Stones.
