Burna Boy gets dragged and mocked on Mzansi Twitter after his FNB stadium concert got postponed due to low sales of tickets.
News about the concert excited many a few months ago; the show was to be hosted by Somizi Mhlongo this Saturday with Major League DJz as the opening act.
However, a statement was released this Tuesday stating that the date has been moved to December 16.
Burna Boy’s most highly anticipated FNB stadium concert is now scheduled to hold on the 16th of December, 2023 — it was postponed due to South Africa’s heritage weekend celebrations and for the fact that stage productions were quite delayed, a new date has been concluded! 🇿🇦🏟️ pic.twitter.com/xhzQJAqCIp

South Africans humbled the Giant of Africa following the release of the statement, as many were amazed at his inability to fill a 68000-capacity stadium.
Some Twitter users reminisced on how South African rapper Cassper Nyovest filled up FNB Stadium in 2017, while others dug out Burna Boy’s 2020 tweets during an alleged xenophobic crisis, which led to a fight between him and the late AKA.
Nigerians “Burna boy can fill up the venue anywhere he goes… Dey African giant” 😭
