Burna Boy’s recent decision to send out a couple sleeping at his Colorado show has generated widespread criticism, with many describing the Grammy-award winner’s actions as distasteful.

New Telegraph had earlier reported that the incident occurred on October 13th at the Colorado stop of his ongoing ‘No Sign of Weakness’ tour.

The Nigerian superstar noticed a lady dozing off near the front of the stage, which visibly upset him as he halted his performance and demanded that her partner escort her out of the venue.

“We are doing this music because we love you, you understand? So when I stand up here and I see you over there sleeping with your girl in front of me, it pisses me the f*** off, men. So please take her home, fast, now!! Take her home,” Burna Boy said, launching a tirade at the couple.

The clip of the couple being publicly removed from the concert quickly trended online, generating massive reactions from commentators who described Burna Boy’s actions as disrespectful, uncharitable, and unprofessional.
