Wednesday, December 11, 2024 - Renowned Bongo singer Diamond Platnumz has broken his silence following a chaotic backstage drama at the Furaha Festival that forced him to leave the venue without performing.
According to the Bongo Flava superstar, he sat in his car for hours, waiting for his slot, only for
the organizers to keep shifting the goalposts.
“I moved to a different area, but the chaos
followed. My manager kept calling the organisers to get clarity, but they kept
delaying,” he said in a video posted on social media.
Eventually, Diamond says his team decided to
pull the plug over security concerns. “I respect my craft. If you can’t put me
on stage at the agreed time, I’ll leave. Simple.”
Diamond revealed that he was paid a
staggering Ksh 19.4 million to headline the much-hyped festival.
He made it clear that he won’t refund the
money after the event organizers breached the contract.
“I won’t refund you because you breached the
contract,” he said unapologetically.
He stated that his no-nonsense approach to
professionalism is non-negotiable.
“I
would never force myself to perform. Respect my craft or don’t book me,” he
said.
The festival was organized by Wabebe XP, an
events company founded by seasoned TV host Willis Raburu.
