2Face Idibia Suffers Major Shock as Less Than 50 People Turn Out for His Concert in Rwanda
Nigerian singer and music legend, 2Face Idibia was left shocked and
embarrassed as just about 50 people turned out for his concert in far
away Rwanda.
The African star whose tour in the country had earlier been promoted was
left flabbergasted as the usual thousands who turn out for his shows
were nowhere to be found. He performed almost to an empty hall at the
Kigali Serena Hotel on September 23, 2016.
The event was 2face Idibia’s second time in the country after his first visit in 2006.
Just last month, Wizkid had performed to a huge crowd in the country as
many turned out to watch his show. But, no one expected that African
legend, 2Face could be subjected to this type of flop.
However, Rwandans on social media have revealed why the show was a
flop. According to them, the flop was as a result of lack of proper
promotion. Again, it was revealed that the concert which was billed for
6pm, started at 10p.m which many believe must have contributed to the
flop.
According to The Net, 2Face after long hours of negotiation between his
management team and the organisers agreed to perform before the less
than 50 people at about 11:30 p.m.
He is quoted as saying, ‘Hello Kigali. I know you’re very few but we
don’t want to talk about whatever happened. I am going to do a unique
show for you who managed to come‘.
He then went on to perform about five songs including ‘True Love’, ‘If
Love Is A Crime’, ‘Blind’, and ‘African Queen’ before his manager, Efe
Omorogbe gave him a sign to quit the stage.

Rwandans have also blamed the show organisers for the flop saying that
the timing of the show was not good. They argued that if the show had
come by the end of the month, when workers must have received their
salaries, people would have turned out for the show.
It is still unclear how 2Face will take this considering that some have
suggested that his best days are over and it is time to call it quit.
