Rising music star Fola has publicly apologized following his first-ever headline concert, which faced criticism due to safety concerns.

The event, held on December 15 at the Balmoral Event Center, exceeded the venue’s capacity, leading to rowdy crowds and safety breaches. Fola ultimately had to stop the performance to protect his fans.

In a heartfelt statement, Fola said,
“My people, I’m really sorry about how last night went. People were hurt, and that should never happen. I had to stop the show because safety comes before anything else. I hear you on all fronts, and we’re working to make things right.”

His record label, Dagbana Republik, also issued an apology, citing insufficient safety measures and promising to collaborate with event organizers to prevent future incidents.

“We acknowledge the serious safety issues that occurred at the event organized by Mainland Blockparty. The venue capacity was exceeded, creating unsafe conditions that should never have happened. Once it became clear that fans were at risk, the performance was stopped immediately. We are working with the organizers to ensure adequate measures are taken to address the concerns of those affected. Your safety remains non-negotiable to us!” the statement read.
