This weekend, Lauryn Hill sent a special message to Nigerians due to her inability to make it for the May Day Live Concert billed to take place on May 1, 2015, in Lagos, Nigeria.

The clip includes an acoustic version of “Doo Wop (That Thing)” from her debut album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. The Grammy-winning artist performs the song with help from her background singers, which includes her 7-year-old daughter, Sarah Marley.

On her official website she writes:

Hello Lagos, Nigeria! We are disappointed to report that we will not be performing at tonight’s concert. From our end, we did everything we were supposed to do, including waiting at the airport for many hours, ready to fly out and share the evening with you. Unfortunately, after much effort, the promoter was not able to get all of our travel arrangements taken care of. This prevented us from being able to fly into Nigeria in time to make the concert. We were all very excited to come, and very disappointed that we couldn’t make this one. HOWEVER, we are working to reschedule our appearance ASAP. From what we’ve been told, the promoter intends to honor all tickets sold. Our best to and for Lagos. Love and Blessings!

Ms. Lauryn Hill and the MLH band and Production Team”
