SCORECARD! Fans hail, lambaste Burna Boy after #BurnaLive concert [Videos]
Afrofusion singer, Burna Boy, headlined his much anticipated #BurnaLive concert at the Eko Convention Centre on Wednesday and thrilled fans to an impressive performance.
The sold-out concert was attended by top celebrities, music stars and die-hard fans who had been hyping the singer on their social media handles.
Although the much-anticipated event did take place, it was fraught with the now familiar case of music stars arriving late.
Fans present at the Boxing Day concert had to wait till 2 am on Thursday for the “Ye” crooner to arrive at the event billed to commence at 7 pm Wednesday.
Music lovers and critics took to their Twitter handle to share photos of angry fans waiting for the “man of the moment” and lamented the poor security of the organisers.
However, some also hailed D’banj, Wizkid, Davido, Wande Coal and 2baba who did a spectacular performance in entertaining fans.
But despite the protracted delay, the highly anticipated and publicised concert was a success, at least judging from some tweets from the likes of veteran Nollywood actress, Ireti Doyle, and some celebrities who attended.
See some reactions and clips from #BurnaLive
Don’t matter how much I love the music, when you say 7pm and you don’t show till 2am the next morning, it kills the vibe and is just plain disrespectful. #BurnaLive

By the way let nothing distract from the fact that aside the cameo performances which were all stellar, Burna held it down and kept us thoroughly entertained with no dancers, no half clad women, just his voice, his band and back up singers. No other distraction. #BurnaLive

Finally is there a promoter looking to make a killing? Recognise that a lot of the fans are young teens. Put on PG versions of these concerts designed especially for them that really run between 7pm and midnight. I’m a parent trying to indulge some of kids interests.Hep me?

I swear I am just laughing at myself.#burnalive was to start by 6pm, they have not even started, the hall is literally empty(people are still getting tagged outside though: the struggle is real, poor arrangement&, and the arrangement looks like a church service. For 15k Im crying

Watching Dbanj’s performance at Burna Boy’s concert, there’s no doubt he is one of the best music performers that ever graced the Nigerian stage. #BurnaBoyLive #BurnaLive
