Burna Boy’s PR team must be working overtime, because the singer just responded to his latest controversy in the most hilarious way. For a quick catch-up, the Afrobeats star was front and centre of online backlash (again) when, on November 12, 2025, he paused his Denver concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre because a female fan was sleeping. He subsequently sent her and her boyfriend out unceremoniously.
Naturally, social media erupted with outrage, disappointment, and all the usual theatrics. Now his team has found a way to remedy sleeping sickness: free coffee at his concerts.
Fans who attended his subsequent shows spotted coffee stands at the Grammy winner’s performances. The liquid goodness is served in styrofoam cups, with the foam carrying recognizable designs: an image of Burna Boy’s face here, his name written in bold print there.
The internet, of course, is divided. Some think it’s a brilliant idea; others see it as a crisis cover-up meant to redeem him from his less-than-African-Giant behaviour. But one thing is clear: Odogwu is sending a direct message to anyone attending future concerts—do not sleep at his show.
Message received. Diaspora fans are already trolling him by planning full-on sleeping parties at upcoming concerts, while others are skipping the shows entirely in protest. In videos from his Houston, Texas stop, several seats were noticeably empty.
Now, the internet awaits Burna Boy’s next move. Good luck to the Eutychus sleepers.
