Sold out or not, Nigerian street hip hop sensation Olamide and his YBNL crew may not be happy with his ground breaking performance the United Kingdom on Sunday.
It was reported that tickets for the show were sold out, filling the 5,000 capacity Hammersmith Apollo venue London to its breaking point.
However, Olamide could not finish his final performance due to crowd control issues. According to reports, tickets for the show which featured the full YBNL crew, including Adekunle Gold, DJ Enimoney, Unbeatable, Neptizzle, Sean, Acenote, Lil Kesh, Viktoh and Temmie Ovwasa, were over sold by the organisers and some eager fans could not be admitted into the venue.
With the venue at full capacity, the securities were left with no choice than to close the doors, refusing an angry number of fans in their hundreds entry into the concert, reported Pulseng.com.
Olamide was quoted at the end of the concert as saying that although he was humbled at the record numbers of fans who came out to see him , he was still disappointed at the fact that his fans didn’t get to witness the end of the show which he had prepared for months.
“All attempts were made to ensure Olamide gave his final performance including offering to cover any security costs to the venue but we eventually had to understand the health and safety concerns of the arena owners as the crowd outside continuously rushed the door,” CEO of Smade events Junior Adeosun said.
