Grammy award winner, Burna Boy has tendered an apology to his fans for standing them up for 7 hours at his concert in Lagos.

This comes after he was called out and bashed by fans for leaving them waiting for hours before gracing the stage on Sunday, January 1. ICYMI, read here
Speaking on the reason for the delay in a post shared on his Instastory, Burna Boy explained that the organizers of the show did not have the infrastructure to handle his audio and production needs.

The Afrobeat superstar however apologized to his fans and appreciated those who waited and weathered the storm with him.
The statement reads,
“Lagos
I love you but I can’t do this again. The organizational structure and infrastructure is not there for the complexities of my audio and Production needs.

Let’s be clear. I wasn’t late, my band wasn’t late. We pride ourselves on being highly professional especially with our stage craft. There were three options available to me; wait for audio to be fixed and delay the show, come out at 11pm as planned with no sound or call breach of contract and pull the plug.
I know I can’t go all over the world and neglect my own people so I’m taking matters into my own hands! I’m gathering the troops to work on building world class infrastructure in the Nigerian entertainment business.

Investors and stakeholders interested pls hit me up, we need to make some changes.
I apologise to my fans for how hectic it was, thank you for staying and weathering the storm with meI commend my band @fromtheoutsiders for making lemonade with the worst lemons we’ve ever seen!Wonder X, KC Kennedy, Olisa Adibua and Creative Economy Catalyst (CEC) did an abysmal job of executing anything and my fans should never have had to go through that.I’ll see you all again, on spaceship time! No one else’s.Love, Damini”

You show up late to lip sync to your songs, and Nigerians pay hundreds for this. Anyway, the country is noisy, lousy so i guess it’s worth it for them

Everything is always perfect before fame including sounds and other infrastructures but as soon he becomes global star suddenly, those stuff becomes imperfect for his craft . It is well

He also needd a new PR team. So he could not apologize for the shit that fell from his mouth? That’s where the apology is needed. While everything he said maybe true, he insulted the crowd. He needs to apologize for that. Mama Burna step in oh- your Son is in phase 1 of the take down.

As if these made-by- Nigerian celebrities compete for who can humiliate their Nigerian home base fan the most to big themselves up. One day their mumu fans will wake up and start demanding the same respect we want from our political leaders.

Was it your team that disrespected paying concertgoers or you? Did you make any refunds, Nexxxt!

He showed up eventually, after the few people left were pissed, tired and thinking about how to get home. It seemed like he only showed up to avoid the refund and I can see this pattern of behavior becoming the new norm, disappointing everyone, typing up an apology and then keeping the money. Fool me once!

What’s the big deal about this guy that you waited over 8 hours to watch him perform?. You deserve the maltreatment you got. If they ask you to wait on the Lord for that long, you’ll lament like they just passed death sentence on you. You just expended your energy on useless stuff and was ridiculed despite the fact that you spent your money to buy insult from the flippant and senseless guy. What a way to start a new year!!!

To hell with you Burna Boy and Damn your apologies. I wish I could humble you by somehow slapping you with some harsh reality. I left after waiting for 3hrs but why the f will y’all stand around and wait for this asshole for 7hrs tho? If not for the beautiful hot women there, it would have been unbearable, thank you ladies. Fuck you Burna Boy, I hope you burn in hell.

No be today you start dis your lateness…. you’ve always been late…but this time around, you took it s notch higher by telling fans who waited 7 hours to watch you perform, “God will punish them” for not standing by you in blind support after you were accused of murder…the AUDACITY!!! You need to be flogged! Technically, you should be getting all the accolades Wizzy is getting but your ‘iwa oshi’ won’t let you progress! The effontry you have to mention Olisa Adibua’s name… weren’t you paid?!! Which one is top class infrastructure?!! The infrastructure was good enough before u blew…u don blow now, we no go hear word! Mind how u treat people on your way up Burna, because laslas na only your Nigerian fans go stay by your side when things go south like they will surely do! Abeg getat!

What’s wrong with Nigerians? This isn’t arrogance. Demand better service. He just called out the organizers. Approach them for their side of the story and boycott any event organized by them.
