Olamide earn praise for compassionate act on stage as fans renew comparison with Burna Boy

Olamide’s recent performance at the OVO Arena Wembley in London has sparked a wave of admiration online after the Nigerian rap icon paused his show to attend to a fan who appeared to be unwell.

Videos from the London concert quickly went viral, capturing the moment Olamide stopped mid-performance, signalled security to assist, and refused to continue until he confirmed the fan was receiving proper attention.

His calm demeanour and genuine concern won massive applause from concertgoers and social media viewers alike.

But beyond the praise, the incident has reignited an ongoing debate, one that once again dragged Burna Boy into the spotlight.

Across social media platforms, fans began drawing comparisons between Olamide’s compassion and Burna Boy’s controversial treatment of a fan weeks earlier.

Many users insisted that Burna, who ejected a dozing audience member during his U.S. show, would never have shown the same level of patience or empathy.

The viral moment led to criticisms, especially after the woman later revealed she had recently lost her child and was still grieving.

@AimLEGEND___"This thing he did, will go very far. Every of his show will be filled because people will see and say, this is someone with human decency, empathy and kindness. Sadly, Burna Boy will keep getting strays for acting without kindness or empathy."
