Wizkid
Nigerian Afropop star Ayodeji Balogun aka Wizkid on Monday apologized to his fans for his failure to show up at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California.
The ‘Ojuelegba’ crooner was originally slated to perform on Saturday April 14, which did not happen due to ‘visa issues’ as announced by the singer.
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (commonly referred to as Coachella or the Coachella Festival) is an annual music and arts festival.
It is expected to hold at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, located in the Inland Empire’s Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert.
However, Coachella announced the rescheduling on their official twitter handle @coachella.
They wrote, “We are sorry to announce that Wizkid is unable to make it into the country to join us this weekend, but will be performing next weekend.”
