Video: “Burna Isn’t Supposed to Be a Celeb” – Reactions as Burna Boy Cancels Show After 41,000-Seater Venue Was Sold Out

Burna Boy, a Grammy award-winning Nigerian performer, has come under fire on social media for canceling his headline event scheduled for Saturday night at the GelreDome in Arnhem, Netherlands, after supporters had already filled the stadium.

Fans reportedly filled the 41,000-seater venue for hours waiting for the ‘Last Last’ crooner to entertain them before learning of the show’s late cancellation.

Burna Boy came to Instagram around midnight to inform that the event will not hold, despite the fact that supporters had already filled the arena.

The music star said he was anticipating performing for his Dutch fans but unfortunately, it couldn’t happen due to “a number of reasons.”

He said his “amazing team has been hard at work trying to salvage it but we couldn’t do it in time.”

He promised to announce a new date soon.

However, Burna Boy’s explanation didn’t seem to sit well with fans as they took to social media to berate the singer and his team over their action.

An aggrieved fan wrote: “Useless. Got us waiting for more than two hours, to cancel the show at midnight. Rubbish.”

Another fan wrote: “Burna isn’t supposed to be a celeb, doesn’t have what it takes. So unwise in handling fans, canceling shows after much delay. That’s disrespectful! More unwise are fans who idolize him, turn up every time. Y’all create an association to deal with any celeb that messes up. So unwise.”
