However, Live Hub entertainment, the organisers of the event in a statement said the Nigerian artiste breached a contractual agreement for failing to show up at the concert.<\/p>\n

Live Hub entertainment assured patrons that a full refund of fees will be made to patrons.<\/p>\n

\u201cDear LiveHub Nation, Wizkid breached his contractual obligation last night. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused. We will issue FULL refunds to all who paid for tickets. Please send your barcode to\u00a0thelivehubinfo@gmail.com,\u201d the statement noted.<\/p>\n

But a member of Wizkid\u2019s camp, Otunba Daniels has blamed the organisers for the musician\u2019s absence on stage.<\/p>\n

Speaking during a Twitter live session hosted by content creator, Kwadwo Sheldon on Sunday, he explained that several issues happened behind closed doors which compelled the artiste\u2019s management to decide not to allow him perform.<\/p>\n

The decision, he said was taken to protect Wizkid\u2019s international brand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWizkid will not deliberately disrespect his fans. The organisers are to be blamed for whatever happened since they were not ready to make some changes. A lot happened behind the scenes that the management will officially communicate.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, promoters must learn to do the right things and ensure the right structures are in place for such concerts. If you are doing a party and your house is not in order and I don\u2019t want to sit at where everyone will see me but at the back, it is not my duty to explain to them why I did that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Wizkid\u2019s management is yet to officially respond to the matter.<\/p>\n

The numerous patrons and fans of the Afrobeats star who thronged the stadium last night for the concert were disappointed and harshly criticised the musician for failing to show up on stage.<\/p>\n
