Popular Nigerian comedian, I Go Save, has strongly criticized some Nigerians. He condemned those mocking Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy. The criticism follows the cancellation of some of Burna Boy’s international shows.
The cancellations stirred significant controversy. Some Nigerians in America had called for a boycott of his performances. Recently, shows in Chicago and Minneapolis were indeed called off. This was reportedly due to poor ticket sales.
Burna Boy, a Grammy Award winner, addressed these issues publicly. He spoke during a recent show in Dallas. The artist apologized to his fans. He also sought their understanding. Burna Boy acknowledged the impact on his career, stating: “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.”
Following his apology, many netizens expressed their delight online. They publicly celebrated the show cancellations.
I Go Save’s Strong Reaction
I Go Save reacted strongly on his Instagram Stories. He sharply criticized those celebrating Burna Boy’s misfortunes. The comedian branded their actions as “witchcraft.”
He argued that divine blessings are not swayed by human malice. God, he emphasized, blesses whom He chooses. In his post, I Go Save stated: “Burna concert kick out might be wrong or right depending on the sides you stand on! But same sinners pushing and celebrating a man’s source of daily bread cancellation is witchcraft! I thought your pastors teach about forgiveness every Sunday?”
He continued, “The fact you hate somebody doesn’t stop God’s blessings. Meanwhile, you still celebrate your political oppressors. This generation and bad belle na 5 & 6!”
