Wizkid Cancels ‘More Love Less Ego’ Tour Amid Personal Tragedy

Nigerian afrobeats legend, Wizkid, has announced the cancellation of his eagerly awaited ‘More Love Less Ego (MLLE)’ album tour, making this heart-wrenching decision public for the first time since the loss of his mother.

The music icon had initially rescheduled the tour, which was slated to run from September to December 2023, due to unforeseen circumstances. Fans across Europe, Canada, and the USA had been excitedly awaiting his performances. However, the recent tragic event in the artist’s life has understandably taken precedence over these plans.

His last public appearance was at the Burberry’s Spring/Summer 2024 Collection catwalk show in London, an event which saw the confluence of the fashion world with the afrobeats scene. Given the events that followed, that appearance now holds even more poignancy.
