Sad news for D’banj fans: There will be no Koko Concert this year.
The Pop singer himself made the announcement on his Twitter, explaining that the yearly concert was cancelled because of the ‘Madiba Legacy Concert‘ which held yesterday (December 18, 2013) at The Oceanview Restaurant, Victoria Island, Lagos.
‘Hey Kokolets,the yearly Koko
Concert has been cancelled because of the Madiba Legacy Concert
happening tomorrow at the Ocean View event center!!‘, he wrote.
D’banj’s reason for cancelling the event
does sound very cheeky as we wonder how a one-day tribute concert
(which he clearly did not put together) would stop him from holding his
own show this December.
He has however promised to make it up to
his fans by hosting three ‘Koko Parties’ this yuletide season. ‘Not to
worry I’m hosting 3 Koko parties this season for my Dear FANS’, he
added.
The first Koko Concert was held in the
UK (2010) with the following year’s holding in Nigeria. Last year,
D’banj brought G.O.O.D Music acts Big Sean, Pusha T along with Tinie
Tempah and Idris Elba for the concert.
Yes it is a pity that the concert is canceled! But this is a good reason for the occasion. I think D banj is a very popular person and if he would not have canceled the concert missed something important, and lost the trust. I think it suffered large losses because a concert was not. I know how much you earn for one concert stars such as he. And all this I read in one interesting article.
