Promoters of the Burna Boy Concert Show, Bavent Street Live, have postponed the concert due to the allegations against the artiste.
The concert was scheduled to hold on December 17.
The artiste was indicted by his manager who was arrested as a suspect in the robbery attack of Mr 2Kay in October.
Although his team has denied his involvement in the incident, Burna Boy has not heeded the call to report to the police station for questioning.
With the uncertainty hanging over the case and his head, the promoters, via a statement, announced their decision to postpone the show.
The statement reads:
“Bavent Street Live, promoters of The Burna Boy Concert 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).
We thank all Burna Boy fans, our great partners and sponsors for your continued love, trust and support.”
