Burna Boy Under Fire For Canceling Netherlands Show After Fans Filled Stadium [Video]

Nigerian artist, Burna Boy is facing severe criticism following the abrupt cancellation of his much-anticipated ‘Love Damini’ concert at the GelreDome in Arnhem, Netherlands.

Fans had flocked to the 41,000-capacity stadium on Saturday night, eagerly awaiting an unforgettable performance by Burna Boy, only to receive the disappointing news hours later that the show had been canceled.

Taking to his Instagram story, Burna Boy apologized to his fans, explaining that he was anticipating performing for his Dutch fans but unfortunately, it couldn’t happen due to “a number of reasons.”

He wrote, “Netherlands! I’m so excited to be here and I was so excited to see you all tonight. I am constantly humbled and in awe of the love and support I get from you all!

“Thank you for coming and waiting just to see us. I will forever appreciate that I’m hurt that I couldn’t see you tonight even though I really wanted to.

“We want to make sure you get the best “love Damini” experience possible and that won’t have happened today for a number of reasons.

“My amazing team have been hard at work trying to salvage it but we couldnt do it in time. I’ll be announcing a new date in a few hours so watch out for it.”

Burna Boy’s apology however wasn’t accepted by many who have since taken to social media to express their disappointment and criticize the singer for the canceled concert.

Burna Boy has spoken. Forgive, forget, and let him make this up just like we know he will! The world loves you Damini! 🦍❤️ pic.twitter.com/MsyU0xohNR

Most people here are students, you made your fucking show rated 6, children waiting in line for 6 hours, the stadium wasn’t even open and queues were long. @burnaboy if you had the fame like Wizkid and Davido you would have used everybody’s head to mop the floor. https://t.co/TpnW2vbTgw

Burna Boy thought he was Davido because Davido can be in three different continents in a day. He thought he could do the same. Burna Boy was in the UK this morning and believed he could make it to the Netherlands in the evening. He forgot that Davido has a private jet.
