I’ve Got PTSD – Burna Boy Defends Assaulting Fan At Greater Lagos Concert

After facing tremendous backlash for assaulting a fan who ran across the stage during his performance at the Greater Lagos concert, Burna Boy has revealed his reasons.

Burna Boy took to his Instagram story on January 1, 2025, to explain his reaction and highlight his longstanding stance on such situations.

He explained, “It was a free show. I was supposed to do 10 minutes and did almost one hour. Everybody knows my rule about getting on stage and startling me when I’m performing. I had an amazing time with Lagos State last night. Don’t jump on my stage like that! I got PTSD. I love you all. Happy New Year.”

This comes after the viral clip from his performance showed the moment Burna Boy kicked the overzealous fan who rushed onto the stage. However, even after the fan was booted off, the singer signalled his disinterest in carrying on with the performance and headed toward the exit.

The incident, which occurred on New Year’s Eve, went viral and drew widespread criticism online. However, after the singer’s explanation, many rallied in his defense.
