The incident took place at Somali singer Suldaan Seeraar's concert at the Target Center in Minneapolis on Saturday. The concert came during Somali Week, an annual event that this year marks the 62nd anniversary of independence in Somalia.
At Saturday's concert, Omar, a Somali-American who is one of two Muslim women in Congress, went up on stage to present an award to the singer, who was performing for the first time in the U.S.
"It was an honor to welcome you to our incredible city," the Democratic congresswoman wrote in a tweet, alongside a 14-second clip that ended moments after the audience began to boo loudly.
Longer clips shared on social media show the audience booed for at least a minute after Omar and her husband came up on stage.
