According to reports, members of the singer’s entourage were jailed in Abidjan due to the singer’s unexplained absence.
Just a few hours prior, Wizkid’s Ghanaian fans had criticised the Starboy on social media for making them wait an unreasonable amount of time for his headlining event.
The Show organisers in Abidjan are reported to have refused to let Wizkid’s staff depart after hours of waiting with no show.
A video posted online shows a show host who was angry, addressing the audience and speaking in French about the disappointing action of the music star.

As previously reported by Mp3bullet.ng, the musician was scheduled to perform at a concert in Accra Sports Stadium on December 10, 2022, but attendees claim he did not arrive.
Starboy received criticism from fans on his numerous social media platforms for not even honouring them with his presence, which they saw as disrespectful.
In a recent development, Starboy personally apologised to his Ghanaian fans and claimed that he was unable to perform due to production and safety concerns.
He posted a statement on his social media sites assuring his followers that he will make it up to them.
