Social media critic VeryDarkMan has criticised Afrobeats icon Burna Boy over his recent walk-out incident after a fan rushed him on stage.
Daily Sun reported that Burna Boy angrily stopped his performance after a fan breached security during his performance at the Greater Lagos Countdown 2025.
The singer’s reaction didn’t go down well with fans and netizens who expressed disappointment with Burna Boy.
Wading into the controversy, VeryDarkMan shared a video of Burna Boy’s response to a similar incident involving a fan during an overseas performance.
In the clip uploaded on Instagram, Burna Boy is seen hugging the fan and bringing him on stage. The artiste also asks the fan his name while urging the crowd to cheer for him.
Slamming Burna Boy and saying what he did was wrong, VDM said the singer sees Nigerians as animals hence his violent reaction, a sharp contrast to what transpired with the foreign fan.
“What Burna Boy did is 1000% wrong but lets ask ourselves questions. What are you doing going on stage?
“Especially in a place like Lagos? How many CCTVs dey Lagos if something wan happen? Wetin you dey do dey climb stage? Now everybody dey talk Burna Boy this, Burna Boy that!
“Yes, he’s wrong because why would you even do somebody like that? It’s almost as if you don look your fellow Nigerians now like filth, you don look dem like animal wey be say you no even fit think say ‘make I dodge this guy as this guy dey come, make I quickly dodge the guy make he fly pass’ because yea, anything can happen.
“Think about these things from different angles, anything could have happened on that stage, like true true, what if that guy use gun dey come?
“What if somebody send the guy? What if the guy carry one poison just wan rub am for him body? Or carry something wey Burna Boy go inhale wey after the show internal bleeding go start and from there he go bleed till he kpai?
“A lot of things could have happened. But he would have just dodged him or done something that would not look as if he was aggressive but the way he even go and even stage hand, it makes no sense bro. Burna Boy now you dey blame am on PTSD,” VDM stated.
