Burna Boy Cancels Minneapolis and Chicago Dates on His “No Sign of Weakness” Tour

Burna Boy has withdrawn from two stops on his ongoing “No Sign of Weakness” tour, pulling out of shows in Minneapolis and Chicago, according to updated listings on Ticketmaster. Both events Minneapolis at The Armory and Chicago at the United Center were marked as cancelled, with refunds already set in motion for ticket holders.

The cancellations landed without an accompanying statement from the artist or his management, leaving the move open to interpretation. Coverage from Nigerian and U.S. outlets notes that the update arrived in the days following the widely circulated incident at his Colorado concert, where Burna Boy halted his set to remove a couple from the crowd. The moment drew heavy backlash online after the woman involved shared that she was grieving a recent loss, amplifying public scrutiny.

Reports in THISDAYLIVE and TheWill suggest that the episode and the subsequent online reaction may have shaped turnout in some U.S. markets, potentially contributing to the decision to cancel both dates. Those outlets also note that neither promoter nor management has clarified whether scheduling, logistics, or internal tour adjustments played any role.

Despite the two cancellations, the rest of the tour remains intact for now, including scheduled appearances in Boston, Washington D.C., Montreal and Toronto. BellaNaija’s reporting confirms that these dates are still active, with no additional changes communicated as of the last update.

The lack of an official explanation leaves room for further updates as the tour progresses, and industry watchers are keeping an eye on whether the remaining North American stops proceed without disruption.
