Netizens Reacts As Burna Boy Fan Gifts Money at Ghana Concert

Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar, whose real name is Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, took the stage at the Accra Sports Stadium for the GTCO Music Concert 2025.

What started as a high-energy show turned into a memorable display of fan appreciation and mutual respect when a bold admirer rushed the stage to gift the artist cash.

This unexpected gesture not only amused Burna Boy but also highlighted the unique bond between African artists and their fans.

The concert was part of Burna Boy's ongoing "I Told Them" tour, which has been making waves across continents with sold-out shows and dynamic performances.

The GTCO Music Concert, sponsored by GTBank Ghana, featured a lineup of top African talents, including Shatta Wale, Sarkodie, King Promise, Patoranking, Ayra Starr, R2Bees, Joeboy, and Fireboy DML.

It was a free event aimed at celebrating music and culture, drawing thousands of enthusiastic fans to the stadium. Burna Boy, known for his fusion of Afrobeats, dancehall, and reggae, was the headline act, delivering hits that had the crowd on their feet.

During the performance, as Burna Boy belted out one of his popular tracks, a fan managed to evade security and climb onto the stage. Instead of causing a disruption, the fan approached the artist with a wad of cash as a gift—a gesture of admiration common in some African music scenes where fans "spray" money on performers.

Burna Boy, shirtless and sweating from the intense show, paused in surprise.

In a clip that has since gone viral on social media, he reacted in his signature Pidgin English: “Omo e gimme money oh! Ghanaaa!! See am! Normal people dem go dey rush come stage come do rubbish.

This one come gimme money.” Translated, it means, "Guy, he gave me money oh! Ghana!! See him! Normal people will rush to the stage to do rubbish. This one came to give me money."

interaction for its wholesomeness, contrasting it with typical stage invasions that often lead to security ejections or chaos.

But Burna Boy didn't stop at just accepting the gift; in a generous reciprocation, he handed the fan some money back, further endearing himself to the audience.

He exclaimed, “This is why I love Ghana, Ghana no get problem,” emphasizing his affection for the country and its people.
