Abuja fans shun Wizkid’s show [PHOTOS]
Contrary to one of his lyrics ” plenty men shall fall that day if you crossed my lane…” Only one man(Wizkid) ‘fell’ at the International Conference Centre, Abuja in a poorly publicised Wizkid Abuja Invasion, organized by Yankee Entertainment.
Wizkid who had claimed in a song that not many people can hold him to ransom was the only victim of humiliation as he performed for himself and few others at the popular ICC, Abuja to the chagrin and consternation of his few fellow artistes.
The Holla at ya boy crooner who had high expectation, as the event marked his first official show in Abuja was disappointed as seats were completely empty. He had waited till 10pm backstage, hoping that more patrons will grace his show, to no avail. He stormed the stage few minutes past 10pm, but obviously disappointed as the usual Abuja fans witnessed at Iyanya and Terry G’s show were totally absent.
A fan who spoke with DailyPost after the show had asked if Abuja fans despised Wizkid . He was however quick to dismiss the notion, concluding that the show failed because there was no publicity. He said, “Abuja people read news a lot. Most of us here are mobile freaks, and we do nothing else but to surf the net for the next big thing in Abuja. It’s not enough to just go to Wazobia or Cool Fm, and you think the show will be a sellout. The social media is the strength of every show. I googled the show, but I didn’t see any result. I think the show failed because of poor publicity. I’m disappointed.”
Another fan said ” it’s unbelievable, a whole wizkid? Abuja people really “fall this guy handooo”
Meanwhile, Wizkid took to twitter this morning to encourage himself when he tweeted that he was not bothered by recent events around him.
He tweeted ” Up! Aint worried abt nothing..on to the next one…owo n wole wa!”
No doubt, the star showed his disappointed right from Abuja as he failed to show up at the after party held at a popular club in the nation’s Capital.
However, some Abuja show lovers said they did not hear anything about the show, hence could not attend.
