Jamaican reggae artiste Etana has declared that she will not be attending her highly anticipated show dubbed Good Vibes Festival which was set for Saturday, December 7, 2024, due to what she describes as a possible sabotage.
In a series of statements shared via her official X page, Etana, without mentioning names, disclosed that someone had paid a large sum of money to ensure that her Nairobi show was sabotaged.
“Someone has paid big money to ensure the show tonight is sabotaged! I am not happy about the sabotage and let me be clear I am not showing up at Platinumz show!!!!! It’s all good!” she wrote.
Continuing her spiel, the reggae sensation claimed that the person behind her woes pushed for a different event that featured Tanzanian bongo artiste Diamond Platnumz, in the same area, before postponing it.
However, in a twist of events, the aforementioned individual, in a new change of plan, returned the event setting the date and location for it to coincide with Etana’s.
“My show on Dec. 7 was being promoted long before someone popped up with a show with Diamond platinums on the same day and in the same area. Then soon after that I heard their show was postponed then yesterday they showed up 50 strong.
“All of a sudden I am hearing the two shows cannot be held in the SAME AREA from the authorities and my show tonight cannot happen. All this politics and drama for one girl. I wonder who is behind it all. Why you so afraid of one show and one woman?” part of her post on X read.
The event set to start at 7 pm and end at 5.30 am was to be held at the A.S.K Dome, Jamhuri Park Show Ground.
