While many want to witness an electrifying performance by Burna Boy live, the excitement for some of the star's South African fans was put on hold after his show was postponed. 

The Nigerian superstar was expected to kickstart his Burna Boy After Tour at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on September 23. 

The event has been moved to December 16. 

While social media users speculated the reason behind the postponement, the Grammy award-winning star took to his Instagram stories to assure his fans he will come to South Africa soon.  

“I was in SA last year and I had 100,000 of the most beautiful South Africans outside for me, so no dead agenda. I will see you again real soon South Africa. I love you,” he wrote.

In 2020 Burna Boy vowed never to step into South Africa again after xenophobic attacks against foreign Africans.

He split social media when he had fans of the late rapper AKA fuming after he told him, in a now-deleted tweet, to “beef up” his security.

However, it was later water under the bridge when the stars said they did not have anything against each other, and Mzansi plans to give the Nigerian star a warm welcome.
