Wizkid's US Tour Suffers Major Setback, Netizens React: “ Make He Just Retire”

• Atlanta, New York, and Houston shows from Wizkid's Morayo tour have been pulled down to the surprise of many
• Though no official explanation has been given yet, there is concern and disappointment from fans online
• The singer had teased the tour with a lively hotline ad in March, stirring massive anticipation from his fans

Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar, Wizkid, has left many of his fans in the United States heartbroken after abruptly cancelling several stops on his highly anticipated Morayo tour.

In what was meant to be a grand return to the North American stage, shows scheduled to be held in major cities like Atlanta, New York, and Houston were pulled, sparking mixed reactions online.

According to updated listings from event promoters, the following concerts have now been officially cancelled: June 5: Atlanta, GA – State Farm Arena; June 7: New York, NY – Madison Square Garden; and June 19: Houston, TX – Toyota Center..

This cancellation came as a surprise to many, especially after the Ojuelegba singer had, in March, teased fans with an energetic promo clip announcing that the Morayo Tour was coming to North America.

In the video, operators answered a tour hotline, joking about how fast the European dates were selling out, with one excitedly claiming, “People are grabbing seats like it’s the last plate of jollof.”

He had captioned the post:

“MORAYO LIVE! Coming to North America. Pre-Sale tickets today at 12pm local time! Use code MORAYO.”

While no official reason has been given for the cancellations, disappointed fans have taken to social media to express their frustration, with some calling for better communication and others urging the singer to reschedule.

Wizkid gets bad review on song with Ayra Starr

Legit.ng, meanwhile, earlier reported that Wizkid got a bad review from critic Daniel Regha for his feature in Mavin signee, Ayra Starr's new song.

The pair had delivered their second collaboration together on the song "Gimme Dat".

While many fans praised the Grammy winner's delivery on the song, Regha however, said, Wizkid's verse made the song lose its essence.
