The Tanzania-based show promoter for Kizz Daniel’s concert has admitted to lying about the singer refusing to perform because he didn’t have his gold chain.
Steven Uwa who sat for an interview with Daddy Freeze with Kizz Daniel’s brother, Tolu, revealed how pressing technical issues was what stopped the Nigerian singer from performing.
When asked by the media personality why he claimed Kizz Daniel insisted that he won’t perform because he didn’t have his gold chain, he said “emotions were high that night”.
When Kizz Daniel’s brother shared that he was not paid in full, Steven said that the $60,000 he said earlier was paid, was not paid to Kizz Daniel directly but to an agency managed by music executive, Paul Okoye.
Steven then admitted that the singer tried to salvage the situation and also meet with fans to apologize and postpone the show after arriving for the event 1 hour to his performance, following an 8-hour flight delay in Kenya. According to him, the show promoters told him there’s no need for that as they will take care of it, but never did.
Tolu who revealed that the contract for the show allowed for it to be postponed, also added that Kizz Daniel also offered to pay for a hall and for other things to ensure that the show was successful if postponed, which the show promoters agreed to but reneged after things took a negative turn.
He also stated that the singer was not arrested but taken in for questioning to know what really happened.
Steven admitted that all these happened, but said they were only trying not to have issues with authorities because they are new in business in the country and also didn’t know how to tell the concert-goers that it has been postponed.
