Wizkid, the Nigerian singer, has broken his silence over his absence at a concert he was to headline in Ghana.

The ‘Ojuelegba’ crooner was billed to perform at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday.

But he failed to show up at the event, leaving many Ghanaians angry. Live Hub, the show promoter, had accused the ‘Essence’ singer of “breaching his contractual obligation”.

Several fans demanded his arrest. Reacting to the backlash in a statement on Sunday, Wizkid apologised over his absence at the concert.

He attributed the development to “safety and production issues” which he said are likely to hinder him from delivering a quality show that his fans deserve.

“Ghana is a country I hold so dear to my heart, first and foremost I wanna apologise to all my fans! Y’all know I would never do anything, without a serious reasoning behind it,” he wrote.

If Wizkid didn’t intend to perform in Ghana last night, he wouldn’t have posted it on his social platforms.

The biggest event to flop in Ghana is wizkid’s concert. Wizkid, R2bees, and king promise didn’t show up after people paid 3200 cedis ($280) and table $1000 upwards. Planning and organizing were very poor. It’s 7:39 am and we are still waiting for wizkid to perform.

Oh!

My NAija GOAT has a really good reason for not showing up.

Signed:
Wizkid’s biggest fan in Ghana. Me!

Thanks.

The way event organizers are in Ghana, please don’t insult Wizkid, for all you know they never paid him and thought he would perform.

If they did or paid R2bees, maybe they would have performed. let’s be patients for the everything to unravel! #WizkidLiveAccra

Glad Wizkid didn't show up at Ghana last night, organizers had the chance to host a global superstar and planed the event like it's shatta wale they're hosting.
