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.Why are kenyans not calling out bridget and @naifest organizers. Security should be there even for the local mwananchi it's because of the local mwananchi the event was a success @ReekadoBanks not performing was bad people paid to see him and the rest .??♀️
