Highlife and Afrobeat singer King Paluta has issued an apology for missing his scheduled performance at Lochers Lounge in Oyibi last Saturday. This apology came after a video surfaced on X (formerly Twitter) showing frustrated fans expressing their disappointment over the absence of the “Aseda” hitmaker.
According to the disgruntled fans, King Paluta had arrived earlier in the evening to pick up some packs of Jollof rice, promising to return shortly for his performance.
However, he never reappeared, leaving fans waiting until 4 a.m. and disappointed by the no-show.
The video, featuring around four men, was filled with frustration as they directed insults and curses at King Paluta, comparing him to more established artists like Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale.
They emphasized that, despite their fame, those artists wouldn’t have treated fans in the way Paluta did by failing to return for his performance.
In response to these, King Paluta in a 39 seconds video apologised for his actions appealing to his fans to keep supporting his craft and pledged to show up to make history.
“Greetings lovely people, its your man King Paluta. Today was supposed to perform at Oyibi Lochers Lounge, but due to some few circumstances , some few ups-and -downs I couldn’t perform.
It’s not our fault, it’s not the organisers fault, but sometimes it happens like this so we are saying sorry to you guys. We are going to come here again and we are going to do this together.
We are going to make history together, forgive us; sorry to the fans and keep supporting King Paluta. I love you guys” he apologised
