A fan named @lydialutudi approached Nigerian rapper Burna Boy at a meet & greet to take a picture with him.
Her attempt, however, was thwarted when Burna Boy’s security officers pulled her hand from the artist’s torso.
Lydia defended her actions, saying she requested for permission before approaching the performer and was startled that security would yank her hand out.
She went on to say that because it was a meet and greet, fans should feel free to interact with their favourite musician.
The event was captured on film and went viral on social media, with many people expressing their displeasure at how Burna Boy’s security treated her.
