Nigerian music superstar Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has stirred concern among fans after a video surfaced showing him receiving medical treatment. The clip, which went viral on Wednesday, December 10, was shared by a popular fan on X, Benny, who disclosed that the Grammy winner has been unwell for some time.

Following reactions online, Benny posted another video — this one from a November performance — where Burna Boy openly referenced his health struggles.

He added:

“Burna Boy has been ill and undergoing treatment. He’s getting ready for his upcoming tour dates.”

The development comes shortly after Burna Boy canceled his Orlando concert in the United States. The show, scheduled for Wednesday, December 10, 2025, at the Kia Center, was part of his ongoing U.S. tour. Ticketmaster later confirmed the cancellation and assured fans of full refunds.

The circulating video shows Burna Boy receiving treatment, prompting mixed reactions across social media.
