Grammy Award-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, widely known as Burna Boy, has apologised to his fans over his later arrival at his concert in Lagos.
The Star had reported that Burna Boy, who was scheduled to perform at his concert, tagged ‘Lagos loves Damini’, at about 9 p.m. in Lagos on Sunday, failed to arrive until about 4 a.m. on Monday.
The ‘African Giant’ crooner also lashed out at some of his fans for accusing him of shooting someone at a nightclub in Lagos and claiming his mother once danced for late Afrobeat singer, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
However, the famous singer, in a statement shared on his verified Instagram account on Monday night, said he wasn’t late for his concert, adding that organisational structure and infrastructure were responsible for the delay.

Burna Boy said: “Lagos, I love you but I can’t do this again. The organisational structure and infrastructure are not there for the complexities of my audio and Production needs. Let’s be clear. I wasn’t late, my band wasn’t late. We pride ourselves on being highly professional, especially with our stagecraft.
“There were three options available to me; wait for the audio to be fixed and delay the show, come out at 11 pm as planned with no sound or call breach of contract and pull the plug. I know I can’t go all over the world and neglect my own people so I’m taking matters into my own hands! I’m gathering the troops to work on building world-class infrastructure in the Nigerian entertainment business.
“Investors and stakeholders interested please hit me up, we need to make some changes. I apologise to my fans for how hectic it was, thank you for staying and weathering the storm with me.
“I commend my band @fromtheoutsiders for making lemonade with the worst lemons we’ve ever seen! Wonder X, KC Kennedy Olisa Adibua, and Creative Economy Catalyst (CEC) did an abysmal job of executing anything and my fans should never have had to go through that. I see you all again, on spaceship time! No one else’s. Love, Damini,” the Afrobeat singer stated.
