Burna Boy took to Instagram stories to apologize to his fans and everyone who attended his Lagos Loves Damini concert for performing late and for any inconveniences they encountered.
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. They had to wait until 3 a.m. before Burna Boy took the stage.
The singer apologized to his fans, saying that neither he nor his band was late for the show, but that the delay was caused by audio and production issues. He also urged investors and stakeholders to collaborate with him in order to build world-class infrastructure in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
He wrote:
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
