Wizkid fans in Oakland, California have expressed their bitter disappointment at the record label EME for cancelling a Wizkid concert which was to hold Friday, August 17, 2012.

On August 14, four days before the concert EME boss Banky W via micro-blogging site Twitter had announced the cancellation of the Wizkid tour;

 ‘Hey folks… The Cali and Canada stops on the tour have unfortunately been canceled. Due to circumstances way beyond anyone’s control’, @BankyW tweeted.

‘Truthfully it takes a lot to put on a tour. A million & one factors go into it. Along the way, sadly, sometimes, inevitably, things go wrong. And when it’s out of your control, There’s not much you can do about it at that point but learn lessons & do better next time.. Truth be told, we take a pay cut while attempting something like this. A serious one. But that’s okay cuz of the love the fans have shown us. And the love we have for them in return‘, he explained.
