Jua Cali leaves pieces of advice for Wasafi´s Harmonize and Mbosso after pulling out from Kenya´s concerts

King of Genge, Jua Cali comes out to slam Wasafi´s Rayvanny and Mbosso for ditching their concerts in Kenya due to petty reasons.

The hip hop artiste, in an exclusive interview with Citizen TV´s Mseto East Africa expresses:

The right thing to do, ni kupanda stage.

Kwasabu unajua mafans hawajui umepewa shilingi kumi, hawajui umepewa 20,000, hawajui umepewa 50,000.

Na kitu interesting, mafans hawaulizi.

Jua Cali articulates that fans never question what amount artists get so that they can show up on stage.

For fans, the performance, the vibe and the presence of the artist, matters most.

Ao ni, panda stage, yaani wanataka tu kukuona ukiimba.

So shida ya mafans, si pesa unalipwa wao wanataka tu kukuona umefika na ume-perform.

The veteran rapper recalls days when performance on stage never came with a penny but they still performed.

Na sisi ndio watu tunapenda mziki sana, tulianza kuimba, hatukuwa tunalipwa zamani na tulikuwa tunaimba.

So according to him, if the bill has been met at least halfway, one ought to perform, not just walk out.

The right thing kufanya, ni kupanda stage.

Piga.

Kama hujalipwa, nayo ni noma, lakini kama umelipwa nusu, piga.

History

It started with Harmonize whose concert was scheduled for November 2018 in Eldoret´s Chaget Festival but turned out a disappointment.

The bongo star apparently had fans gathered up at the concert´s venue awaiting his performance but failing to show up at the last minute.

Just last month, during the Easter festivities, Kenya´s Mbosso was set to perform in Malindi´s Ocean Beach Resort for the Easter Festival.

He however pulled out before making any appearance on stage.

Apparently, the bone of contention was fact that event organizers for the two artistes declined to pay up the full amount as earlier agreed upon.
