Nigerians upset at Burna Boy’s ‘double standards’ at his Dallas show.
-
Nigerians angered as Burna Boy apologizes for tardiness at Dallas show, citing insults.
On Wednesday night, Burna Boy, a stage name for Damini Ogulu, performed in Dallas, Texas, in the United States.
It was said that the self-described African Giant irritated his long-awaited followers by arriving late for the concert at American Airlines Center.
It is interesting to note that Burna Boy apologised to the audience and requested them not to take offence because he was delayed due to an unforeseen event involving the stage setup.
After finishing that, the Odogwu crooner asked his Dallas audience whether they were prepared for the amazing performance he was about to provide, and there were cries of anticipation.
He then started singing popular songs from the “Love Damini” album, but Nigerians on social media expressed surprise that he could be so polite to his fans in other countries given his past of speaking down to those in Nigeria during similar situations.
When all is said and done, Burna Boy will go down as one of the Greatest Afrobeats Performer of all time.

One Twitter user, Adedayo, wrote, “This same guy left fans waiting till 3 AM in stinging harmattan cold on the first day of the year. Instead of apologizing like an adult, he credited Seyi Vibez for being the reason he stayed back. Then went on a childish rant that sums up to ‘I sha don do my own back’. Pathetic!”
Despite the mixed reactions, it is clear that Burna Boy’s tardiness at the Dallas show has caused disappointment and frustration among many of his fans.
