Music Group Ethic Entertainment Entangled in Koroga Festival Drama
Over the weekend, Koroga festival headliners Ethic are said to have been allegedly attacked at Koroga Festival. Reports vary on what actually transpired, however the "Lamba Lolo" hit makers took to social media, stating that four of their crew members were "brutally injured" by the festival's security team; using #JusticeForEthic on twitter. There were clearly two opposing accounts on what transpired:It's with deep regret that we have to post this.
Koroga festival called us and told us to perform as the headliners for the Koroga festival Saturday edition. We'd done one event with them previously and since we had no issues the last time and also because it is a huge platform,— ETHIC (@ethicofficial) July 6, 2019
Ethic narrates how their DJ, Hypeman & driver were manhandled by K9 security & not KK security at the Koroga Festival.
It would be very wrong to mistreat these boys simply because they have talent & come from the Ghetto, see video below.#JusticeForEthic pic.twitter.com/lC60CDiii8— Cyprian Nyakundi Escobar (@CisNyakundi) July 7, 2019https://twitter.com/RozenIan/status/1147857392807415808

Revelers Displeased with Jah Cure's Underwhelming Performance
It wasn't a great weekend for Nairobi concerts. Reggae fans branded the Uhuru gardens event underwhelming. The King of lovers' rock, Jah Cure headlined the Umoja Splash Festival on Saturday, encumbered by a malfunctioning sound system and lack of enough booze. It is also reported that the "Call on Me" hit maker did more talking than the actual singing, and only performed for an hour.I knew Jah Cure can't perform. I never bothered despite all the hype. The other guys you should not bother spending your time or money on are Richie Spice and Turbulence

I have watched a couple of live Jah Cure concerts in other cities on YouTube and judging by that, the performance he gave to Kenyans was very unfair. I will never set foot to his show again #JahCureInNairobi #umojasplashfestivalke
