Popular comedian I Go Save has blasted Nigerians who are rejoicing over the cancellation of Burna Boy’s concerts in the United States. He recently expressed his displeasure in an Instagram Story after promoters announced that two of the singer’s shows in Chicago and Minneapolis had been cancelled due to low ticket sales.
According to him, celebrating another person’s downfall shows negative energy, and he can only urge Nigerians to learn to support their own even when they disagree with them.
Stressing that hating somebody will not stop God from blessing them, he described those celebrating as witches and wizards.
His words, “Burna concert kick out might be wrong or right depending on the sides you stand on!
But same sinners pushing and celebrating a man’s source of daily bread cancellation is witchcraft! I thought your pastors teach about forgiveness every Sunday?
The fact you hate somebody doesn’t stop God’s blessings. Meanwhile you still celebrate your political oppressors. This generation and bad belle na 5 & 6!”
WOW.
