Burna Boy postpones concert “due to recent allegations” against him
Dancehall star, Burna Boy whose concert was scheduled to hold on Sunday, December 17, has reportedly postponed it due to recent allegations leveled against him.
Though the concert’s new date is yet to be announcement, however the singer’s management said they are working to get his name off the bad book, after being accused of attacking Mr. 2Kay after his performance at the “Buckwyld N Breathless” concert which held at Eko Hotel and Suites.
Here’s the press release from the singer’s team;
Bavent Street Live, promoters of The Burna Boy Concert Show, scheduled for the 17th Dec. 2017 at the Balmoral Convention centre wish to inform all fans and lovers of Nigeria’s top-most afro-fusion artist, Burna Boy, and our corporate partners and sponsors of a shift in the date of the above scheduled concert.
This is solely due to the recent allegations levelled against Burna Boy, which are as of now, unfounded and are yet to be proven. Burna Boy and his management are working assiduously within the ambits and requirements of the law to clear his name in these investigations.
He therefore needs time to come back and promises an incredible performance for his fans. For now, he needs the time and space to deal with these allegations, which have arisen at such a crucial and sensitive time when he’s working on his album and his concert.
We ask that we respect the time he needs during this challenging period.
The new date for The Burna Boy Show will be communicated in the near future, (all tickets purchased will remain valid, however you have the option to receive your full refund from the ticketing partners immediately).
We thank all Burna Boy fans, our great partners and sponsors for your continued love, trust and support.

Rihanna Arrive London With Billionaire Beau
This comes after the Work hitmaker flashed what appeared to be a diamond engagement ring on her wedding finger last week in New York City.
The two have been dating for about a year.
Divorced Jameel is the deputy president and vice chairman of family business Abdul Latif Jameel Domestic- who own the rights to sell Toyota cars in Saudi Arabia. He previously dated Naomi Campbell.
The crooner was glam free with her locks pulled up into a bun, a crossbody Dior purse on her hip and white sneakers.
Her beau was dressed very casually as well for the long flight.
According to eyewitnesses, the pair took over two hours to come through the terminal.
They had used the exclusive Windsor Suite, which is supposed to enable VIPs to arrive and leave the airport with minimal delay.
The lovebirds then got into a waiting van.
Rihanna was sporting the large ring as she left Madison Square Garden where she took in Chris Rock's stand-up comedy performance.
The ring appeared to have a large center stone that could have been a champagne diamond.
Surrounding the rock were several large white diamonds that created what looked to be a daisy pattern. Whatever it is, we wish Riri all the best.
