Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Nigerians react to Toke Makinwa’s yansh which refused to shake at Asake’s concert.
Bizzle Ozikoya, the music executive, tweeted about the show which was held at Eko Hotel in Victoria Island, on Friday.
In a follow-up chat with TheCable Lifestyle, the artiste manager said many attendees who bought tickets to the concert and came expecting a late-night show were shocked to find the concert had ended when they arrived.
“Most times, the reason people come late is that shows don’t start on time. Besides, a lot of artistes don’t want to come out and perform at a show with a limited audience,” Bizzle said.
“I attended the Asake concert and it ended early yesterday at Eko Hotel. Asake got on stage at 11:30 pm and got off at 12:45 am.
“We had people getting there at 1 am. I guess it’s because they’re used to shows starting late, so they felt this wasn’t going to be any different. I feel like a lot of artistes shouldn’t even hold concerts in December. There are too many.
“There is too much traffic on the roads and artistes who are booked have to constantly move from show to show, hence they arrive late at the venue. This doesn’t make sense. We should actually state these things out.”
During his performance at the Flytime concert in Lagos on Thursday, Asake paused the show to pay an emotional tribute to the ladies.
In the viral video he told the crowd to stay silent as he expressed remorse and sympathy at the unfortunate demise of the two women.
He said, “Inside of me I feel pain for them. But may their souls rest in peace. Before we go on, I just want us to have a minute silence for them, for those who lost their lives in London, may God be with them.”
