I Go Save slams Nigerians over Burna Boy show cancellations
Popular Nigerian comedian I Go Save has strongly criticised Nigerians who are celebrating the reported cancellation of Burna Boy’s shows following his recent clash with a concert goer. Reacting to the online trend, the comedian described the behaviour as wicked and compared it to witchcraft, saying it is wrong to rejoice over the loss of another man’s source of daily income.
I Go Save stated that regardless of personal opinions about Burna Boy or the incident that occurred at the concert, no one should be happy about another person’s business or career suffering. He stressed that shows and tours are not just about the artist alone but also provide livelihood for many others including band members, crew, event workers, and vendors who depend on such events for survival.
His comments come after backlash trailed Burna Boy over a heated exchange with a fan during a recent concert, which led to widespread criticism on social media. Reports of possible show cancellations then surfaced online, with some Nigerians openly celebrating the development. This reaction, according to I Go Save, reflects deep-rooted bitterness and a lack of compassion in society.
The comedian urged Nigerians to learn to correct public figures without destroying their means of livelihood. He added that constructive criticism should never turn into a celebration of another person’s downfall, warning that such attitudes only promote negativity and division.
