Mzansi pokes fun at Burna Boy for failing to sell out
Nigerian superstar Burna Boy has found himself at the center of social media banter as South Africans take playful jabs at the artist ahead of Chris Brown’s highly anticipated concert in Johannesburg this December.
In 2023, Burna Boy, often referred to as the “African Giant,” had to cancel his much-anticipated South African show due to poor tickets sales and other logistical issues.
Fast forward to the lead-up to Chris Brown’s concert at the iconic FNB Stadium, and the vibe is completely different.
South Africans have taken to social media, buzzing with excitement for the US R&B star’s return, with many predicting a sold-out show.
The anticipation is so high that fans are confident Brown will achieve what Burna couldn’t—filling the massive stadium to capacity.
As the countdown begins for Chris Brown’s concert, fans are drawing comparisons between the two global superstars, and Burna Boy is bearing the brunt of the jokes.
“Chris Brown is one of the biggest artists of our generation man he will always sell out no matter where he goes, this isn’t Burna boy we talking about” one user quipped, while others continued to mock Burna’s struggle to sell tickets in the country.
With Chris Brown’s fanbase eagerly awaiting the December show, it’s clear that the excitement levels are skyrocketing, adding fuel to the light-hearted teasing of Burna Boy’s earlier attempt.
