Wizkid was scheduled to perform on Saturday July 22, 2012, which was supposed to be his first ever perfomance in Toronto, Canada. However reports via HIPHOPWORLD state that several hundreds of teeming fans were denied entry into the concert venue. Conservative estimates state that over 1500 fans were unable to enter the venue as the event was massively overbooked.
Our sources say that the venue of Wizkid's Toronto Concert comfortably sits 250 people but over 2000 people showed up to see the Headies 2011 Next Rated Winner perform. Allegedly all 2000 guests had valid tickets to the event. Several upset fans took to social networking site; Twitter to express their disappointment.
Wizkid's labels; Akon's KONVICT MUSIC and Banky W/Segun Dermuren's EME have yet to issue any official statement concerning the debacle. Show promoters and organizers of the Toronto Concert have however stepped forward to clear the air.
