Comedian set to host Lauryn Hill concert

Basketmouth is set to be the host of the forthcoming concert.

Lauryn Hill is set to return to Nigeria, four months after she failed to appear in the country for an earlier booked show, and to coordinate activities on the night.

The US pop star Lauryn Hill was billed to headline a concert in Lagos, Nigeria but her set was cancelled at the last minute due to a travel disagreement between Lauryn Hill and the show promoter. The singer later went on to apologise to disappointed Nigerian fans in a video which has amassed over a million hits.

But a new concert has been packaged by the same promoter, and the singer is set to hold. The former Fugees star will be live in Lagos on August 30, 2015 at Eko Hotels along with her 20-man live band for a ‘reloaded concert.’

Lauryn Hill had earlier cancelled her upcoming gig in London, claiming that she is not allowed into the UK for legal reasons.

Hill was scheduled to perform at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on July 15. However, the gig no longer held with the singer disclosing online that her "past legal situation" prohibits her from entering England.

In July 2013 Hill spent three-months in prison for failing to pay taxes on over £1m in earnings. However, her series of shows in London came last September, following her release from prison.

The 39-year-old former Fugees member hasn't released a studio album since 1998 and, in recent years, has become known as something of an erratic live performer. The London gigs were met with harsh Twitter criticism.

Following an appearance at the O2 Academy Brixton in September 2014, Hill began to trend on the social network after attendees complained that she was an hour and a half late onstage and that the revamped versions her of classic songs were nearly unrecognisable from the original versions.Hill also recently cancelled a concert in Israel due to her inability to book a corresponding gig in Palestine.
