VIDEO: Burna Boy Kicks a fan in the face while performing in Zambia
Popular Nigerian singer Burna Boy is one artiste who’s got quite a heavy list of controversies. From his early days London murder allegation to the Mr 2Kay ambush incident, Burna seems to have violence tied to him one way or another.
In a recent stage performance in Zambia, the “Ye” crooner was captured on camera as he kicked a fan in the face for attempting to pull off his ring.

Many Zambians didn’t find his action funny at all. They are of the opinion that he would have reacted subtly, and they went ahead to trend the hashtag “#muteburna” to force him to apologize.
Regardless of what was going on here, nothing justifies Burna boy's irrational kicking of a fan. He could have handled it better. #Zambia must #muteBurna until he apologies #iStandwithZaambia #naija pic.twitter.com/rAr5bXlUuW

Burna Boy quickly responded to the issue and rendered an apology under a popular twitter account that also posted about the incident:
“I am sorry about how it looks but this person continuously tried to rob me on stage. It was like the 10th attempt to do it after telling him several times to stop . This wasn’t a fan. Apologies for how it looks but it’s not the case at all. I appreciate all my fans.” He tweeted.

One thing for sure is that celebrities are just as human as everyone else and they err too.
