Nigerian singer, songwriter, and performer, Damini Ogulu, widely known as Burna Boy, has faced criticism for the cancellation of his concert in the Netherlands, where he left disappointed fans waiting for hours. In response to the situation, the event organizers, Bon Bon Entertainment, have issued a statement shedding light on the circumstances.
Despite reportedly selling out the event, Burna Boy ultimately decided to cancel the show and has since offered an apology, explaining the reasons behind the cancellation. Taking another perspective, Bon Bon Entertainment, a reputable European organization with a history of working with renowned artists like Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Black Coffee, Mr. Eazi, Rema, and more, also took to social media to express their apologies and provide further insight into the disappointment.
According to Bon Bon Entertainment, both their team and Burna Boy’s team made every effort until the last moment to proceed with the concert. However, they faced challenges as the local authorities did not grant permission for the event, deeming it “irresponsible.” They emphasized that they faced limitations imposed by the authorities, leading to the unfortunate cancellation.
Similar to Burna Boy’s statement, Bon Bon Entertainment stated that they would communicate information regarding a new date for the concert in due course.
