Some fans of multiple award-winning Nigerian music star, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, A.K.A Burna Boy, have expressed displeasure over the singer’s late arrival at his Lagos concert held on Sunday night.
While calling out the singer on Twitter, the fans noted that the ‘Last Last’ crooner failed to apologize for keeping them waiting for hours under cold weather.
The concert was held at Eko Energy City and was themed #LagosLovesDamini.

According to the fans, the show was slated for 9pm but Burna Boy didn’t show up until about 3am.
Amid his performance, Burna Boy lashed out at some of his fans while recalling how he was allegedly accused of killing someone at a club in August 2022.
He further stated that he would have canceled his performance and returned home if not for another artiste, Seyi Vibes, that appealed to hold the concert.
Speaking in Pidgin English, he said, “If no be Seyi Vibes, I for just don dey go house. But I dey here with una, after una don talk sey I kill person for Cubana, after una don talk say my mama dance for Fela.”
He subsequently performed his hit songs to the waiting fans who cheered him despite their earlier displeasure.
Below are some of the comments from some of the angry fans:
@PoojaMedia said, “Burna Boy sings about poverty & slavery. The western world dance to it & even give him awards. Then, come back to Nigeria after touring the world for a year to enslave Nigerians/Africans. Gutter mentality.”
