Burna Boy's concert officially cancelled due to low ticket sales

Grammy Award-winning Nigerian superstar Burna Boy's controversial concert has been cancelled. The star's name charted social media trends recently following reports that the concert had been moved to December 16 due to low ticket sales.

Burna Boy will not be making his way to Mzansi this year after the cancellation of his much-awaited concert. The internationally acclaimed star's show, which was originally scheduled for September 23 at the FNB Stadium, had been moved to December 16 due to low ticket sales.

According to a post shared by popular entertainment blogger Phil Mphela on his Twitter page, the Burna Boy show has now been cancelled. The post noted that TicketPro had ceased all sales of tickets to the concert. The post read:

"Burna Boy concert now officially cancelled. Cited are “ inability for the promoters to fulfil their contractual, financial, production and technical obligations” Production vendors had apparently not been paid on time.

"Management conceded that the agreed production standard needed for the venue size could not be achieved. TicketPro has seized all sales of tickets to the concert."

Social media users have shared hilarious reactions after the news that Burna Boy's concert had been cancelled. Many noted that the On The Low singer is still not welcome to South Africa after his heated Twitter battle with the late rapper Kiernan "AKA" Forbes.

@uMaster_Sandz said: "This makes me proud as a South African, a lesson taught to other artists who think they can just speak ill about our country. Well done Mzansi."

@RealMrumaDrive commented: "He was correct we he said he will never set foot in Southy. Your own mouth is a dangerous tool."

@kaMalambule added: "He’s welcome eBus Stop in Vosloorus. We don’t discriminate there."
