Organizers of the catastrophic Ghana show have threatened to sue Wizkid.
Nigerian singer Wizkid has been threatened with legal action by the “Wizkid Live Concert” event organizers in Ghana, Live Hub Entertainment after he failed to attend the performance.
Fans waited for Wizkid till the following morning, but he declined to appear for the live performance at the Accra Sports Stadium. Fans criticised the musician and requested a refund after the disappointment.
In a statement explaining his absence, Wizkid stated that he was unable to attend owing to production and safety concerns. The claims, however, have been dismissed by the event’s organisers.
In an interview with TV3, the management of the event company said it intends to seek a refund for payments made to the musician following his refusal to fulfil his side of the bargain.
“We are considering going to court for a refund. We did what we could on our part to make sure he was okay,” management stated in an interview with TV3.
“We paid him in full, paid for his stay at Kempinski Hotel, paid for his private jet among others,” management stated in an interview with TV3.
In a statement it issued, organizers affirmed that “Wizkid was paid in advance for his concert date. All of his expenses including his private jet flights, hotel presidential suite, security, vehicles, additional offsite accommodation.”
