Asake’s Lagos concert under fire over ₦300k ticket price

Afrobeats star Asake has come under intense criticism after flyers and online listings indicated that tickets for his planned Lagos concert were priced at around ₦300,000. The fee, believed to be for regular or standard access, quickly went viral and triggered a wave of angry reactions from fans on social media.​ Many Nigerians described the price as “ridiculous” and “tone‑deaf,” arguing that it effectively shuts out ordinary supporters at a time when people are struggling with inflation and rising living costs. Some users said they had attended previous Asake shows for far less and questioned why a local concert should now cost several months’ minimum wage.​ Commentary online also framed the concert as another example of big Nigerian events becoming exclusive gatherings for the wealthy. Critics urged promoters to create more reasonable tiers so that loyal grassroots fans can still […]

Burna Boy empty seats row and the real cost of cancel culture

Burna Boy’s recent tour has ignited a global debate about cancel culture after conflicting images of his shows showed both packed arenas and worrying empty sections. Viral clips of thin crowds and cancelled dates were quickly framed online as proof that fans, especially in the United States, were “cancelling” the Afrobeats star for his behaviour and comments.​​ The controversy escalated after footage surfaced of Burna Boy ordering a seemingly sleeping fan out of a concert, prompting outrage and calls for a boycott. Critics accused him of disrespecting supporters and acting with arrogance, while older clips in which he appeared to prefer “rich fans” resurfaced and further fuelled anger.​​ Promoters in the US later confirmed that at least five arena dates were cancelled, citing weaker than expected ticket sales and a wave of refunds that followed the backlash. Some of the […]
