Burna Boy’s concert billed to
hold this weekend has been postponed, according to Bavent Street Live,
promoters of the event.
Bavent Street Live says the
singer’s alleged involvement in a robbery attack on fellow artiste Mr 2kay
resulted in the postponement.
The Lagos state police has
invited Burna Boy for questioning over the incident.
In a statement, the organisers
said: “The Burna Boy Show, scheduled for the 17th Dec. 2017 at the Balmoral
Convention centre wish to inform all fans and lovers of Nigeria’s top-most
afro-fusion artist, Burna Boy, and our corporate partners and sponsors of a
shift in the date of the above scheduled concert.
“This is solely due to the recent
allegations levelled against Burna Boy, which are as of now, unfounded and are
yet to be proven. Burna Boy and his management are working assiduously within
the ambits and requirements of the law to clear his name in these
investigations.
“He therefore needs time to come
back and promises an incredible performance for his fans. For now, he needs the
time and space to deal with these allegations, which have arisen at such a
crucial and sensitive time when he’s working on his album and his concert.
“We ask that we respect the time
he needs during this challenging period. The new date for The Burna Boy Show
will be communicated in the near future, (all tickets purchased will remain
valid, however you have the option to receive your full refund from the
ticketing partners immediately).”
Burna Boy has denied involvement
in the robbery and beating up of Mr 2kay.
