The highly anticipated United States tour of Nigerian musician Zinoleesky has been canceled. The announcement came from the show promoter, Fathia Entertainment, citing unforeseen circumstances beyond their control.
The official statement released by Fathia Entertainment expressed regret over the cancellation, offering their apologies to all the eager fans who had purchased tickets for the anticipated tour. The reasons behind the cancellation were not explicitly outlined but were attributed to unforeseen circumstances.
“We regret to announce that the forthcoming 2023 US SHOW has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstance which is beyond our control,” the statement read. “We are indeed so sorry, we apologize to all our American sisters & brothers who have tickets. We really do love you and we shall try to make it up, new dates will be communicated as the event unfolds. Thanks for your understanding.”
The USA tour was initially announced on June 26, 2023, with Zinoleesky set to visit and perform in 10 cities across the United States in September. The cities in line for the tour included Washington DC, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Boston, and Indianapolis.
Recent revelations have pointed to the tour’s cancellation being linked to the ongoing controversies surrounding Mohbad, Marlian Records, and its entire cohort. These controversies seem to have had a ripple effect, impacting Zinoleesky’s tour plans significantly.
With the cancellation now official, Zinoleesky may face additional financial burdens, as it has been reported that he would need to refund the show promoter a substantial amount of $45,000.
