    Fave cries out over alleged disruption of concert during Ramadan

    Afrobeats singer Fave has expressed disappointment and confusion over alleged reports that music shows are not allowed in Nigeria during the Islamic Ramadan period, affecting her plans to hold a birthday concert.

    In a series of posts on X, Fave stated that promoters are rejecting her proposed show, citing Ramadan, despite her being a Christian.

    According to her, she had intended to host the event on her birthday, March 13.

    Fave emphasised her respect for Ramadan practices but questioned its impact on her business, stating she’s never heard of such restrictions growing up in southern Nigeria.

    She wrote, “I started this year wanting to do my first show in Nigeria on my birthday as an independent artiste, and back to back, promoters kept sending word to my team saying the same thing.

    “I grew up in the south and never heard of Ramadan practices till I was in my late teens. I respect all religions. But I’m Christian, and I really want to do this on my birthday, so if you’re reading this and are open to organizing, I’d be so happy.”
