Famous Nigerian singer, Burna Boy has finally revealed why he kicked a fan during his performance at a Lagos concert.

Addressing the controversy in an Instagram story on Wednesday evening, Burna Boy stated that he has PTSD and warned his fans not to ever jump on his stage.

He said, “It was a free show. I was supposed to do 10 minutes and did almost one hour. Everybody knows my rule about getting on stage and startling me when I’m performing.

“I had an amazing time with Lagos State last night. Don’t jump on my stage like that! I got PTSD. I love you all. Happy new year.”

Media Talk Africa reports that PTSD known as Post-traumatic stress disorder, is characterised by failure to recover from witnessing or experiencing a terrifying event.
