Wizkid, a well-known stage name of Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun from Nigeria, has claimed that skipping the Wizkid Live in Accra event on Saturday night was the proper course to take at the time.
The Ojuelegba hitmaker apologized to his fans for the regrettable occurrence in a statement posted on Twitter on Sunday night while reassuring them that he would never act without thinking things through carefully.
Thousands of fans were left disappointed at the Accra Sports Stadium after the Afrobeat icon failed to show up for the highly anticipated concert.
But according to Afrobeat, his decision not to perform was solely to protect his brand, having apologised to fans.
“Ghana is a country I hold so dear to my heart, first and foremost. I wanna apologise to all my fans! Y’all know would never do anything, without a serious reasoning behind it.
“My brand is something I don’t joke with! I sincerely apologise, to everyone who made effort to come out for me last night.
“I was charged up, looking forward to doing this show. However, please understand that every decision I made co-sided with honoring my fans, and would only make a drastic decision like this because it was the right thing to do and I had to.
“Unfortunately, up until the day of the show, there were safety and production issues that prevented me from putting up on a high quality show that my fans deserve,” he wrote in a social media post.
The award-winning artist added that he and his team were working on delivering an amazing show in Ghana, with details to be announced soon.
The remark made by Wizkid may help to placate some of the irate audience members who had been berating the artist for insulting them by failing to appear as advertised at the event on Saturday night.
It now appears that the situation has devolved into a blame game when Live Hub entertainment's organizers accused Wizkid of breaking his contract earlier on Sunday.
