Confusion And Violence At Gospel Concert As Organizer Allegedly Attempts To Con Top Gospel Acts!

i don’t know what to make of this wahala! All this gospel drama is becoming too much! and sometimes it’s not the artists who are the root cause of the drama but they get caught up and it ends up tarnishing the already battered image of gospel in the country.

And this weekend was no different as the organizers of a “the Recharge” allegedly attempted to swindle some artists they had contracted to perform at the show. and when things went south, one of the organizers identified as Jeffery Kamau attempted to beat the gospel acts into submission.

And this is how the story unfolded:

On Saturday, the 17th of August, at an event dubbed ‘The Recharge’ held at Nairobi Cinema, organized by The Recruit Wing, turned out to be one of such events.

Top Gospel Artistes Christ Cycoz, Kelele Takatifu, Kenn Eddy Krezi, S.O.C, Chuchu, Guardian Angel and Son A De Fada had been booked two months prior for an undisclosed amount by DJ Freejoh fell victim after showing up for the event, only to be told by the disorganized and unprofessional event organizers, that they wouldn’t be able to pay them the amount agreed upon, keeping in mind that the artistes had cancelled all other events that they had been approached for scheduled on that fateful day.

A scuffle that lasted for almost two hours ensued when the rude organizer identified as Jeffrey Kamau tried to punch Didi of Kelele Takatifu after they said they wouldn’t go on stage before coming to an agreement that would favour both the stakeholders despite the sudden breach of contract.

“Hawa watu wamezoea wasanii sana ati juu wameokoka,” a fan could be heard shouting amidst the crowd that had gathered.

It is evident that such occurrences are not new in the fast rising Gospel Industry, as event organizers use artistes’ names in order to hype their events only for them to turn out to be a well-orchestrated HOAX.

Fans usually turn out in large numbers only to be disappointed that artiste they saw ‘on the poster’ was a no-show, not knowing the events that unfold behind the scenes.

“Its not even about the money, its about respect and guys sticking to their word,” Ben of Christ Cycoz said.
