“They were almost paying me…” Mbosso reveals how he watched 100 million walk away

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is crying foul and established music artistes have not been spared either.

The advent of coronavirus rendered anything music performances and tours obsolete indefinitely.

No music artiste can tell when they will get back their mics and drop stellar performances to their fans. No one! Not even the moneyed or the best of them all has a clue when this is ending.

Wasafi artiste, Mbosso is counting losses over lost projects and music performances triggered by the lethal virus that is sparing not even a day-old baby.

Up and close on Tanzanian Vlog SnS, the ‘Sonona’ singer expressed just how much loss of gigs, has cost him.

With scheduled music performances and tours for April, he was lost of words, just trying to figure out how he was going to recover his millions.

I had shows that I was supposed to be performing at. I also had a tour in France. All these was supposed to be done in April.

Having to either call off or put off shows indefinitely, Mbosso admitted he lost upwards of 80-100 million just like that.

Unfortunately, the loss struck just just on the verge of getting paid his sum by event organizers, ahead of his tours.

They were almost paying me but right now things are at a standstill. The bookings have been cancelled and I have lost between Tz shillings 80 to 100 million (Ksh 3.6 million toKsh 4.5 million).

It’s not just him, his immediate boss, Diamond Platnumz confessed to losing roughly 3 billion Tanzanian shillings which easily translates into Ksh 137 million roughly.

It is but the sad reality!
