The O2 Arena which is in London has a 20,000 capacity for music shows!

The Grammy Award-winning artist is scheduled to perform on 28 November.

Fans who couldn’t buy tickets were upset!

Fans who weren’t able to get tickets took their frustration to Twitter, with one even saying she was “crying” after being unable to purchase one.

Another joked: “I’m guessing Wizkid only released 12 tickets for the disciples.”

The Afrobeats star also celebrated the overwhelming demand, tweeting: “Sold out the 02 Arena in 12 minutes. London! I love you.”

Other fans urged Wizkid to add another date to the tour, with one writing: “Yeah Wizkid needs to add another date at the O2! And that would be incredible! History made before our very eyes.”

But most fans took not being able to get tickets for the 20,000 capacity venue in good humor: “Guys the only option is to buy Burna Boy O2 tickets and hide under the seat until Wizkid’s show. May the odds be in your favor.”

His last album, Made in Lagos, was released to critical and commercial acclaim. As a result of the album’s success, Wizkid became the most streamed Nigerian musician of all time.
