Nigerian music megastar Wizkid has canceled multiple shows from the North American leg of his Morayo World Tour, sparking a wave of online reactions that range from concern to criticism.
Among the axed dates are high-profile venues such as:
- June 5 – State Farm Arena, Atlanta
- June 7 – Madison Square Garden, New York
- June 11 – Scotiabank Arena, Ontario, Canada
- June 15 – CFG Bank Arena, Baltimore
While fans were gearing up to see the Grammy winner perform live, news of the cancellations hit social media with force, especially on X (formerly Twitter), where fans and critics quickly flooded timelines with mixed takes.
What’s Behind the Cancellations?
As of now, Wizkid’s camp has not issued an official explanation for the canceled shows. However, speculation intensified after his close associate Godson responded to a fan’s query with a cryptic yet emotional post:
“Add him to your prayer. Personally, I think he’s still grieving and nobody is helping him achieve this. Sad.”
This has led many to believe that personal struggles, possibly related to the loss of Wizkid’s mother in 2023, may be contributing to the sudden change of plans.
Despite the setback, sources indicate that the European leg of the tour remains unaffected, with shows expected to continue as scheduled.
Fans React: A Mix of Sympathy and Shade
Wizkid’s cancellation quickly trended online, drawing divided opinions. While some fans sent heartfelt messages urging the IDK singer to prioritize his mental and emotional health, others were less forgiving, citing reasons like poor planning, scheduling conflicts, and low ticket sales.
Some of the more critical reactions included:
- “So none of his fans could buy tickets despite the price reduction? This guy is finished.”
- “Cancelled in the midnight thinking people would not notice.”
- “Wizkid scheduled his tour on the same day as a major game in New York? Who’s advising him?”
Stan Wars Reignite
As expected, the incident reignited fanbase rivalries. Supporters of rival artists, particularly Davido, were quick to capitalize on the situation, some accusing media outlets of bias in their coverage.
One user posted:
“You posted Wizkid’s cancellations in seconds but stayed quiet on Davido’s Spotify stream reductions. Clear agenda.”
Another added:
“Any Wizkid slander, I’m always there like Toyota Hilux.”
What’s Next for Wizkid?
Wizkid has remained silent on the issue, but fans continue to rally behind him. Many are hopeful that the artist will take the time he needs to heal, regroup, and return stronger — both on stage and off.
Whether the Morayo tour will resume in full or be restructured remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Wizkid’s every move continues to spark nationwide, and global, conversation.
