Organizers of Burna Boy ’s “No Sign of Weakness” US tour have cancelled at least two North American dates after weak ticket sales and public controversy surrounding a recent concert incident.
Organizers of Burna Boy ’s US tour have cancelled two major shows after many fans reportedly refused to buy tickets. Shows slated for November 28, 2025 in Minneapolis and December 1, 2025 in Chicago were removed from the tour schedule.
The cancellation comes in the wake of controversy after a viral video showed Burna Boy ejecting a fan for allegedly sleeping during his performance. The negative reaction is believed to have contributed to the drop in ticket demand.

On Thursday, the ticketing platform showed the Minneapolis and Chicago dates as cancelled. Refunds were promised to ticket holders. No official statement named a reason from the artist’s camp. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Fans reportedly pulled back from buying tickets after the online backlash from Burna Boy’s Denver show, where a fan was removed mid-show. Some fans said they felt embarrassed or disagreed with the handling of the incident.
With the cancellations, confidence in the rest of the tour may wane. Promoters and venues involved will likely monitor pre-sales and refund requests closely before confirming future dates.
Reactions are mixed. Some fans feel disappointed and see the cancellation as unfair. Others believe the tour was poorly managed. Conversations online focus on ethics, fan respect, and accountability in live shows.
Observers will check whether remaining dates hold — and if Burna Boy or his team comment publicly. They will also watch whether this affects his brand value and future tour plans.
