King Promise has been asked to explain why he sided with Wizkid to refuse fans access to a concert they had paid for.
Live Hub Entertainment has secured Wizkid as the headlining act for a concert on December 10, 2022. Fans packed the Ohena Djan Sports Stadium in Accra for the concert, but the Nigerian musician never showed up.
R2bees and King Promise, two Ghanaian musicians, did not attend as well. The latter said that he skipped the music festival because of security concerns.
via a news release,
“Performing for my fans is my topmost priority. I don’t take the love and support you show me for granted. What I will never do is compromise your safety no matter how much I’m paid for a show.
“It’s your unflinching support that makes me who I am. I profusely apologize for last night’s mishap. I PROMISE to make it up to you really really soon. God bless and keep you safe,” King Promise concluded.
Meanwhile, other fans claim that King Promise skipped the performance because he was following in the footsteps of the Nigerian singer.
Another fan added that “why do I feel like he was waiting for wizkid to come and apologize before? and besides what he said was similar to what wizkid came out to say… Charlie, promise you’re our own we have seen you on different stages in this country with zero security yet you performed“.
When asked about it on Hitz FM today, King Promise said that Wizkid is not his boss and that he didn’t cancel the gig because of him.”There are certain sides of the story that when it’s time I will tell you,” he told Doreen Avio, host of the show. Asked if he canceled the show to show allegiance to Wizkid ‘his boss’, he replied “first of all that’s my friend. Secondly, my allegiance has always been with Ghanaians“.
King Promise did not, however, elaborate on the reasons why the concert was risky for both him and his audience.
