According to sources, he was scheduled to perform in Benin and Cote D’Ivoire on December 11, 2022, in two different countries. Wizkid however performed in Benin but failed to make it to Abidjan.
But multiple media reports in Ivory Coast confirmed the Abidjan incident in a tweet.
"Expected in Accra on Saturday for a concert, the Nigerian artiste @wizkidayo never showed up. Sunday in Abidjan, he was conspicuously absent from another show, but he was seen tonight in Cotonou, Benin, where he landed on a private jet shortly before midnight," LSI Africa tweeted late Sunday.
Wizkid has earned a bad reputation among many fans, particularly in the African continent, because of a similar incident that occurred in Ghana a few hours prior to this. It is said that this is the second time he has failed to appear for events in Abidjan for which he was fully paid.
Photos of Wizkid, King Promise, and others aboard a private jet has been shared widely on social media.
This comes barely 48 hours after the singer apologised for missing the Wizkid Live concert which took place at the Accra Sports Stadium on December 10.
Late on Sunday, he gave an explanation on social media for why he skipped the Accra event and promised to compensate his fans with a special show.
His absence in Accra pissed out fans and patrons who had paid huge sums of money to purchase tickets for the show who decided to use social media to call him out for breaking his word and disrespecting them and wasting their time.
