Eminem Slams Burna Boy for Kicking Out Sleeping Fan at Colorado Concert

American rapper Eminem has joined the growing criticism directed at Burna Boy after the Nigerian singer ordered a sleeping fan to be removed from his concert in Colorado last month.

The incident happened on October 13 during a stop on Burna Boy’s No Sign of Weakness tour. While performing, the Grammy winner noticed a woman near the front of the stage who appeared to be dozing off. His reaction immediately halted the show.

Burna Boy demanded that the woman and her partner leave the venue, insisting he would not continue until they were escorted out. Security officials carried out the instruction moments later.

A video clip of the exchange spread rapidly online, sparking backlash from fans who called the musician’s reaction harsh and unnecessary. Many argued that a sleeping concertgoer did not warrant a public confrontation, especially considering that attendees had paid to be there.

The debate widened on Tuesday after Eminem reacted to the viral clip. Responding under a reposted video of the incident, the rapper wrote: “Yo, this is not cool.”
His comment added significant weight to the criticism already trailing Burna Boy, given Eminem’s influence and global fanbase.

Fresh information shared by social media users added a more emotional layer to the controversy. According to one post on X, the woman who fell asleep had recently lost the father of her daughter. Attending the concert, the user claimed, was meant to help her cope with the period of grief.
This revelation further intensified public outrage, with many arguing that Burna Boy could have handled the situation with more empathy.
