US rapper Wale no longer coming to Nigeria, releases statement

US/Nigerian rapper Wale was supposed to be in Nigeria today for Ice Prince Zamani's FOZ album launch but he just released a statement via his record label Maybach Music saying that he's not able to make the trip due to logistic reasons. He says it's not Ice Prince's fault. Statement below..

 
But UK rapper Chipmunk is in town. See his pics in Nigeria after the cut...

    I had it at d back of ma mind that things might turn out this way. There's a strong juju in Yoruba land that chased the brother away and doesn't want him to return.
    Or maybe he's got intelligence report that his kindred made preparations to hold him back in his fatherland as soon as he steps in.

    I believe him when he says the ticket was not paid for. Nigerians and always doing manage manage. He is a big star, this is not a benefits concert or something. He does not and should not come here without a paid ticket. That is how he will come and have no hotel accommodation. Abeg, he is used to things being done right and y'all know Nigeria equals disorganization (it is not a curse, it is just what it is).

Some of u don't even think @ all , so its now its fault that his ticket wasn't taken care of ? Was he supposed 2 use his money to pay for d flight ? When its not like he knows y'all on a first name basis , mscchheewww , the show might be the only thing bringing him 2 naija @ all but as we ( nigerians ) 2 dey fuck up , d guy no show . Dis is a perfect example of what goes in the govt , contracts would be awarded but we no go see any improvement(s) .... & now some idiots are saying if wale really wanted 2 come that he would have paid for his flight with his own money , u dey mad ? If u really want good roads in Nigeria , then why don't u remove 4rm ur pockets to construct good roads .... Rme ... I'm so disgusted
