Nigerian street-hop sensation, Seyi Vibez, has come under heavy criticism from his fans in Canada after abruptly canceling a scheduled concert without prior notice.
The singer, who has been enjoying a steady rise in popularity, is facing backlash as disappointed fans took to social media to vent their frustration.
The event, which was highly anticipated by his fans, took an unfortunate turn when concertgoers arrived at the venue, only to find out that the show had been called off. What seemed to upset the audience the most was the fact that no official communication or explanation was provided by Seyi Vibez or his management regarding the sudden cancellation.
A disappointed fan expressed frustration online, saying, “Seyi Vibez is a total d!sappointment. After you will be shouting hail Mohbad and you dey do this kind thing.” This comment not only reflects the disappointment felt by his fans but also draws a comparison to the late Mohbad, with whom Seyi Vibez has often been associated. The comparison was meant to criticize Seyi for not living up to the expectations set by his peer, Mohbad, who was known for his consistent connection with his fanbase.
Other fans chimed in, echoing similar sentiments, accusing the artist of being unprofessional and disrespectful. One fan added, “We’ve been hyping Seyi Vibez only for him to cancel a show last minute without telling anyone. This isn’t how to treat your fans.”
This public outcry has sparked discussions on the responsibilities artists have to their fans, especially when performing internationally. Many felt that the lack of communication was not just a minor inconvenience but a major letdown to fans who had invested their time and money to see the artist perform live.
Seyi Vibez, who has yet to publicly address the cancellation, has been facing mounting pressure to respond to the complaints and offer an explanation for the mishap. Fans are demanding accountability, and many have threatened to stop supporting the artist if he continues to ignore their grievances.
Some critics have pointed out that this isn’t the first time Nigerian artists have canceled shows abroad without proper notice, and they are calling for more professionalism and better planning from these acts when organizing international tours.
