Nigerian singer, Simi, whose headline concert ‘Simi Live In Lagos’, billed to start at 6 pm yesterday (December 9), was almost marred by logistics issues as the singer began the show about four hours later than scheduled.
READ: The “African Time” Phenomenon Almost Wrecked The Biggest Night Of Simi’s Career
Simi had only recently held a successful sold-out concert in London last month, and her army of fans were on ground to cheer their star who has had a relatively successful career in 2018.
But minutes became an hour and went on to 3 hours and yet, Simi was not in sight, a scenario which drove guests at the Balmoral Convention Centre to go on twitter to blast her as some complained they had to go to work on Monday morning
The show eventually kicked off by few minutes to 10 pm and Simi who mounted the stage at about 10:30 pm apologized profusely to her already agitated fans.

At Simi Live. The show is yet to start at past 9pm. Isn’t this ridiculous? For a show that was meant to start at 6pm. Sound testing still going on. I am super disappointed.

I really love Simi but this is still very, sad, unfair and unfortunate. Perhaps it’s the fault of the organizers and not #Simi herself. And the way I’ve been looking forward to this show ehn. Currently 10:28pm and it’s still unknown acts we’re seeing. #similiveinlagos

Simi’s show starts at 6pm, they said.
08:33pm and they’re still doing mic check mic check. I’m not surprised, I doubt anyone is.
It still doesn’t make it right though. And that’s why I’m tweeting this.— Ayoola ‘Detayo (@MacShayn) December 9, 2018

Simi: Before anything i want to apologize, i’m extremely sorry and i want you to forgive me. Sometimes logistics can get in the way but i don’t want you to allow that not make you enjoy your night
