I still do not have the full brief from the venue management themselves as to what led to the disruption at the entrance of The Brixton Academy, but we are thankful that all was peaceful at the end.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor my people who enjoyed the beginning of my performance, I am sorry that it was cut short. Thank you for your unbelievable love London. I love you too much! I\u2019m looking forward to seeing you again in a bit!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
