- Wizkid, a Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar, has cancelled several stops on his Morayo tour, leaving fans in the United States heartbroken.
- The cancellation of shows in major cities like Atlanta, New York, and Houston, which were scheduled for a grand return to the North American stage, sparked mixed online reactions.
Grammy-winning Nigerian artist, Wizkid, has stirred disappointment among his U.S. fanbase after abruptly calling off several dates on his much-anticipated Morayo Tour.
Originally billed as his grand return to North American stages, the superstar unexpectedly cancelled shows in major cities such as Atlanta, New York, and Houston. Updated listings from promoters confirm that the following performances have now been scrapped:
- June 5: Atlanta, GA – State Farm Arena
- June 7: New York, NY – Madison Square Garden
- June 19: Houston, TX – Toyota Center.
The move has left many stunned, especially considering that Wizkid had previously teased the tour in March with a vibrant promo video. The humorous clip featured a fictional hotline where agents hyped the speed at which tickets were selling out, joking that fans were “grabbing seats like it’s the last plate of jollof.”
Accompanying the post, the singer wrote:
“MORAYO LIVE! Coming to North America. Pre-Sale tickets today at 12pm local time! Use code MORAYO.”
Despite the fanfare, no official explanation has been given for the sudden cancellations. Disappointed supporters have taken to social media to air their frustrations—some demanding better communication, others urging the singer to reschedule or offer refunds.
The silence from Wizkid’s camp has fueled speculation, and while some fans are still hopeful for alternative dates, many are left feeling let down.
