I\u2019m sorry to the fans who came out to the stadium to see me but I\u2019m not doing the show and I\u2019ve left the stadium. we have to stick to, we have to make sure organisers communicate right with the artiste. you don\u2019t keep me backstage almost four hours and have me wait for people to take turns on stage while I still sit backstage without knowing what to do.<\/p>\n<p>So basically, my call time was 1:30 and I stayed backstage till 4 o\u2019clock and I had to leave\u201d Samini gave an explanation.<\/p>\n<p>EonlineGhana.Com gather that Samini was supposed to perform before Shatta Wale but Wale entered the stage before him and spent over 2 hours on stage performing.<\/p>\n<p>This pushed the other performers back into the early mornings when basically all the patrons have left the stadium, leaving the place virtually empty and as such the rest of the acts couldn\u2019t perform.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video of Samini explaining the situation below<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0jh6P8P-hxY\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JWLCYP4_PE8\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3qSicn2CjZM\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 24 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Sunday, 3 December 2017 Source: Eonline.com 2017-12-03 play videoSamini didnt perform yesterday at the S Concert Ghana\u2019s biggest outdoor entertainment event dubbed the \u2018S Concert\u2019 came off yesterday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
