A fresh TikTok trend is sweeping through the United States, with concertgoers now parodying Nigerian Grammy winner Burna Boy by pretending to fall asleep during his live shows.

In a series of viral clips, American fans are seen reclining in their seats, shutting their eyes, and acting as though they are fast asleep—before panning the camera dramatically toward the stage where Burna Boy is performing. Many of the videos carry the caption, “How We Slept at Burna Boy’s Concert.”

The mockery follows a recent incident in which Burna Boy halted a performance to call out a couple he spotted dozing off, ordering them to exit the venue. The episode ignited heated debate across social media, with critics accusing him of being intolerant and supporters insisting he had every right to respond.

TikTok creators have since turned the moment into a full-blown parody trend, intensifying online conversations about Burna Boy’s stagecraft, his US fan reception, and the increasingly performative nature of concert culture.
