U.S. FANS WANT BANKY W ARRESTED

EME Fans in the US are angered after a show is suddenly cancelled. The show which was supposed to be held today in Oakland California, was a part of Wizkid’s 2012 North American Tour.

In response, some fans are calling for the arrest and prosecution of Empire Music head Banky W. According to them, this isn’t the first show to be cancelled. Banky W called off his July 2011 show stating that fellow empire mates Wiz Kid and Skales had been denied US visas. This was again after fans had already  bought their tickets, some which have allegedly never been refunded.

EME fans want Banky W. and the rest of his crew to get it together and stop organizing shows that are beyond their reach.  Fans are insisting that they receive their refunds immediately for the cancelled show which is scheduled to take place today or legal action will be pursued.

Banky W has not responded so far and I can understand him not wanting to fans sometimes don’t understand that the artists don’t have a choice to cancel performances. Many times US promoters make deals with artists which they can’t follow through, which often causes the artists to pull out of a show no matter how late it is. Maybe we should be asking Royal Entertainment what the deal is....

In the meantime we'll just wait and see what happens……
