Recent Concert Issues and Comedian I Go Save’s Stance
This health news surfaces amidst a period of challenges for the artist. Recently, Nigerian comedian I Go Save criticized Nigerians. He rebuked those mocking Burna Boy. Their mockery followed the cancellation of some of his shows.
Weeks ago, Burna Boy halted a performance. He asked a female fan to leave his show. She was reportedly sleeping during his set. This incident sparked significant backlash. Some Nigerians in America called for a boycott of his concerts.
More recently, shows in Chicago and Minneapolis faced cancellation. These cancellations occurred due to low ticket sales. The Grammy-winning artist later addressed these events. He spoke during a recent Dallas performance. He apologized to his fans. Burna Boy also sought their understanding.
He openly admitted, “I know my ticket sales are suffering since that incident. Even the coffee I introduced, no one is buying. So please, I am sorry to everyone and everything I said. It was a slip of tongue.”
Conversely, some netizens expressed delight at the cancellations. They shared their joy online. Comedian I Go Save strongly condemned these reactions. In an Instagram Stories post, he called such celebrations “witchcraft.”
I Go Save further argued a point of faith. He stated that God would continue to bless those He chooses. This blessing would stand firm, regardless of human animosity.
