Here's Why Reekado Banks Failed to Perform at NaiFest

Reekado Banks is breaking his silence on why he did not perform at NaiFest the previous weekend, despite being in the country for the event. In an interview with Sunday Nation's Buzz, the Nigerian star's rep said, "The contract agreement was that Reekado was to be paid the remaining balance of his performance fee once he arrived in the country. The organizer was supposed to pay the remaining amount 5,000 USD (Ksh540,000) on Saturday morning before Reekado would take to the stage later in the day. But she went missing, she was nowhere to be found. Our effort to reach her were futile."
The emerging details follows a different story told by the event organizer, Bridget Achieng, who blamed his non-performance to the current COVID-19 10pm-4am curfew. "When Reekado was about to perform, few minutes past 9pm, we were notified to pack up since there was sale of alcohol too and the law is clear that by 9pm you close up and 10pm, curfew so we couldn't do anything but I'm happy it happened so", she said.
Tanasha Donna and Sailors gang were among artists who also backed out.

'Minor Premise' Trailer Released

Relic Pictures has released the official "Minor Premise" trailer. The directorial debut of Eric Schultz in this sci-fi thriller follows the story of Ethan (Sathya Sridharan), a reclusive neuroscientist, while in an attempt to surpass his father's legacy, becomes entangled in his own experiment, pitting ten fragments of his consciousness against each other.
The official synopsis reads: Attempting to surpass his father's legacy and pressured by an old colleague (Dana Ashbrook of Twin Peaks), a reclusive neuroscientist becomes entangled in his own risky experiment. Ethan (Sathya Sridharan) has now locked himself in his home with his ex-girlfriend Allie (Paton Ashbrook) and the two navigate trauma, ambition, and missteps of the past. Diving headfirst into the uncharted equations of the brain, they realize that there is more at stake than just their relationship or Ethan's reputation. With time quickly running out, he is forced to face off against the darker sides of himself while frantically attempting to solve an enigma that lies within his subconscious.
"Minor Premise" arrives in theatres December 4,2020.
