Ayodeji Balogun, better known as Wizkid, a Nigerian singer, has drawn harsh criticism for skipping his gig in Ghana.
According to ANN, Wizkid’s supporters were treated to a live performance on Saturday, December 11, 2022, at Accra Sports Stadium by the show organisers.
To the disappointment of his supporters and music aficionados, the artist did not attend the event.
Many of the singer’s followers reacted to the singer’s absence by criticising him on social media and expressing disappointment in how the event turned out.
One multi-media journalist, Nneka slammed the singer, saying: “Wizkid is not attending his concert in Ghana. Now, let’s see how this plays out in the morning. People leaving at 04:03am after 12 hours waiting for @wiakidayo. I feels so bad. I feel sad its happening in another country. Happening in Ghana. A country you reside in. This is the peak of ones Hubris.”

OleleSalvador wrote: ”Wizkid’s set is originally set for 2-hours non-stop. Its 2:30 and he’s still yet to mount the stage. This means if he does mount the stage anyime between now and 3am, the show may end at 5am. The DJ is currently on rotation for close to 30mins. No Mc. No performance.”
Simply hephie called the promoters to refund the money taken from fans; ‘‘The organizers need to refund our monies because what is this? Herrghhhhhh.”
