Burna Boy apologized to his fans and everyone else who attended his Lagos Loves Damini concert for performing late and for the inconveniences they experienced on Instagram stories.
According to fans on social media, the event, which was supposed to begin at 6 p.m., did not begin until after 10 p.m. Burna Boy didn’t show up on stage until around 3 a.m., after which they had to wait.
The multi-award-winning artiste apologized to his fans, stating that neither he nor his band were late for the show, but that audio and production issues caused the delay. In addition, he urged stakeholders and investors to collaborate with him to construct entertainment industry infrastructure of the highest possible quality.
He penned:
Lagos,
I love you but I can’t do this again. The organisational 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 pm 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 me I 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
