"This is solely due to the recent allegations levelled against Burna Boy, which are as of now, unfounded and are yet to be proven. Burna Boy and his management are working assiduously within the ambits and requirements of the law to clear his name in these investigations.

"He, therefore, needs time to come back and promises an incredible performance for his fans. For now, he needs the time and space to deal with these allegations, which have arisen at such a crucial and sensitive time when he’s working on his album and his concert.

We ask that we respect the time he needs during this challenging period.

"The new date for The Burna Boy Show will be communicated in the near future, (all tickets purchased will remain valid, however, you have the option to receive your full refund from the ticketing partners immediately). We thank all Burna Boy fans, our great partners and sponsors for your continued love, trust and support," they stated.

Burna Boy's present ordeal began the moment he was declared wanted over the assault and robbery attacked melted on Mr 2Kay after his performance at a concert in Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos in October 2017.
