Fans of Afrobeats star, Burna Boy, have been left disappointed after the singer announced that he won’t show up for his concert in the Netherlands. But in a statement on his Instagram story on Saturday night, the singer noted that he couldn’t come for the show due to a “number of reasons.”
The show was scheduled to be held at the GelreDome stadium on Saturday night. He partly wrote, “I’m hurt that I couldn’t see you tonight even though I really wanted to. We want to make sure you get the best ‘love Damini’ experience possible and that won’t have happened today for a number of reasons.
“My amazing team has been hard at work trying to salvage it but we couldn’t do it in time. I’ll be announcing a new date in a few hours so watch out for it!”
However, the singer came under fire for the cancellation as the hall was said to have been full of fans. Sharing a video purportedly from the stadium, which showed thousands of fans waiting, a tweep, VellySlimKing, said, “Burna Boy kept fans waiting for over 5 hours only to postpone his show in the Netherlands. This is really horrible.”
Another tweep, Zebelonist, added, “Burna boy everyone was waiting😭. I’m f**king hurt man😭😭.” An attendee, Kenrick Stewart, who shared a video from the stadium on Twitter, wrote, “Live in Gelderland. No Burna Boy in sight.”
