Nigerian Afrobeat superstar, Burna Boy has reportedly cancelled five arena dates from his ongoing ‘NSOW Tour’ following low ticket sales.

According to multiple reports, fans stopped buying tickets after a controversial video went viral showing Burna Boy ejecting fans from his show for “sleeping” during his performance.

The Grammy-award winning singer has publicly apologized during one of his recent shows, saying:

“I know my ticket sales are suffering since that incident. Even the coffee I introduced, no one is buying. So please, I am sorry to everyone and for everything I said. It was a slip of the tongue.”

Reggae Legend Jimmy Cliff Dies At 81

Reggae star Jimmy Cliff, has died at 81, leaving a lasting mark on music worldwide.

Jimmy Cliff, one of reggae music’s most iconic figures, has died at the age of 81, leaving behind a legacy that helped bring the sound of Jamaica to a global audience.

Cliff, born James Chambers in 1948 in St. James Parish, Jamaica, rose from poverty as the eighth of nine children to become a worldwide music star. His early singing in church and his move to Kingston at age 14, when he adopted the surname Cliff, marked the start of a career defined by both talent and ambition.

He achieved early success in Jamaica with his composition Hurricane Hattie before relocating to London in 1965 to work with Island Records. Although initial efforts to adapt his music for rock audiences were challenging, Cliff found international acclaim with singles such as Wonderful World, Beautiful People and the politically charged Vietnam, which Bob Dylan described as “the best protest song ever written.”

Cliff’s starring role in the 1972 film The Harder They Come, in which he played Ivan Martin, a young man navigating Jamaica’s corrupt music industry, cemented his status as a cultural icon. The film not only showcased Cliff’s talent but is widely credited with introducing reggae music to American audiences.

His illustrious career included Grammy Award-winning albums such as Cliff Hanger (1985) and Rebirth (2012), and he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.

Cliff’s wife, Latifa Chambers, announced his passing on Instagram, attributing it to a seizure followed by pneumonia. “I am thankful for his family, friends, fellow artists and coworkers who have shared his journey with him,” she wrote. “To all his fans around the world, please know that your support was his strength throughout his whole career. Jimmy, my darling, may you rest in peace. I will follow your wishes.” Their children, Lilty and Aken, also signed the statement.

Cliff’s music and films remain enduring testaments to his artistry, influence, and the power of reggae to inspire audiences across the world.
