Instead, he said he was performing out of goodwill because his colleague, Seyi Vibez, pleaded with them.

The Grammy award-winning singer, during his short time on stage, told his fans that despite all the hurtful and mean things said about him and his family, he still loves them but that God will punish them if they do not also love him.

On Tuesday evening, the international artiste finally shared the story behind the event’s unfortunate occurrences and apologised In an Instagram post on his stories.

He wrote: “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.”

The 31-year-old artist stated that he and his team were at the event early and was supposed to come up by 11 p.m., but he did not want to embarrass the organisers.

“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 a breach of contract and pull the plug.”
