Grammy winning Nigerian singer, Burna Boy, has finally spoken up after his Lagos concert on New Year’s Day trended for many wrong reasons.
Recall that the singer had kept fans waiting for about 7 hours before eventually emerging on stage and performing for about one hour.
Despite the singer’s late stage appearance, a lot of other things that took place at the event made it a trending topic on social media but for negative reasons.

According to Burna’s note, despite him loving Lagos and Nigeria, he would not be willing to go through what happened at the concert again. The music star noted that the ‘organisational structure and infrastructure’ is not there for his ‘audio and production needs’.
We were not late
Not stopping there, Burna made it clear that neither him nor his band was late for the event and he had one of three options. He had to either wait for the audio to be fixed and delay the show, or to come out at his scheduled time of 11pm with a bad sound or to call breach of contract and not come out at all.
The music star then showed interest in collaborating with willing people to build a ‘world class structure in the Nigerian entertainment business’.
Burna then went ahead to apologise to his fans for the hectic experience they had at the event. He also praised his band, The Outsiders, for ‘making lemonades with the worst lemons’ they had ever seen.

Finally, the music star also pointed fingers at some of those responsible for why the show was a let down. According to him, Wonder X, Olisa Adibua, KC Kennedy and Creative Economic Catalyst (CEC) did an abysmal job of executing anything.
