Production team yet to be paid – Burna Boy calls off South Africa show

Famous Nigerian Afrobeat singer, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly called Burna Boy has cancelled his highly anticipated South Africa concert.

The concert was scheduled to be held at the FNB stadium, in Johannesburg on 23rd of September, 2023.

Speaking on the development in a statement by his management on Tuesday, Burna Boy said the concert was called off following the promoters’ inability to meet their obligations

While apologising to his fans, the management assured that all tickets would be refunded.

“Sadly, it is with great regret that we must inform you that despite my team’s effort, the show on September 23rd, in Johannesburg will be canceled over the inability of the promoters to fulfill their contractual, production, financial and technical obligations.

“Production vendors have still not been paid and as such, it is evident at this point that the agreed production standard needed for this venue size can’t be achieved.

“Deepest apologies to all fans, all ticketing companies must ensure that it is refunded in full. Looking forward to seeing you all soon,” it said.
