Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy has addressed the controversy surrounding his sudden exit from the stage at the 2025 Greater Lagos Countdown concert.

He clarified, “It was a free show. I was supposed to perform for 10 minutes but did almost an hour. Everybody knows my rule about being startled on stage. I had an amazing time with Lagos, but don’t jump on my stage like that! I got PTSD. I love you all. Happy New Year.”
