R&B singer and Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) boss Banky W has expressed his regrets over the failed EME debut US tour, initially scheduled to kick start on Friday, June 24, 2011. The tour which was supposed to feature Banky W and the two other acts under his EME label – Wizkid and Skales was supposed to begin at the Lincoln Theatre in Washington D.C and end at the California Theatre on July 23.
Series of reports followed after the tour was announced, including unconfirmed reports that Wizkid was allegedly denied a visa at the US Embassy.
And weeks, after a press release announcing postponement of the show and promising to go ahead, Banky W has come out to admit the tour will no longer hold as scheduled.
Commenting on the heartbreaking development through the popular micro-blogging website, Twitter, Banky W tweeted, ‘As far as the EME tour goes… it hurts me to say we tried our very best to pull it off. We did everything we were supposed to. Twice. Truth is, there were some issues that are beyond our control, and we kept pushing, trying to resolve ’em. We worked hard and spent a sh*t load of money in the process… but it wasn’t under our control. In anycase, we’re STILL working on resolving said issues’.
The singer continues ‘and the minute they are, we’ll launch a couple of make up dates immediately. If you bought tickets already, ur entitled to a full refund. Trust me we’d rather be rocking with u than losing money, so pls understand. And lastly, we will resolve these issues we’re having. And the minute we do, we’ll put together a couple of make up dates. I’ll be the first to let you know when that’s happening, I promise’.
