Fans in Nigeria got the bad news that Lauryn Hill would not be performing in Lagos like they thought she would. Unfortunately, promoter arrangements prevented the concert from happening, but L-Boogie was ready to make it up to the people even though she could not perform.
Live from her living room with the help of family members and her own daughter, Lauryn strummed her guitar and recorded an acoustic version of her Miseducation of Lauryn Hill smash hit “Doo Wop (That Thing).” She also posted a message on her Facebook explaining exactly what happened and promised to reschedule another date in the near future.
Hello Lagos, Nigeria! We are disappointed to report that we will not be performing at tonight’s concert. From our end, we did everything we were supposed to do, including waiting at the airport for many hours, ready to fly out and share the evening with you. Unfortunately, after much effort, the promoter was not able to get all of our travel arrangements taken care of. This prevented us from being able to fly into Nigeria in time to make the concert. We were all very excited to come, and very disappointed that we couldn’t make this one. HOWEVER, we are working to reschedule our appearance ASAP. From what we’ve been told, the promoter intends to honor all tickets sold. Our best to and for Lagos. Love and Blessings!
