Jamaican reggae artist Etana’s highly anticipated performance in Kenya on December 7 was unexpectedly cancelled. The show, set to take place in Nairobi, clashed with Tanzanian star Diamond Platnumz’s performance in the same area on the same day.
Etana expressed her disappointment on social media, accusing some people of sabotaging her event. She voiced her frustration over the poor coordination that led to the scheduling conflict, revealing that her show had been promoted long before Diamond’s event was announced.
“My show on Dec. 7 was being promoted long before someone popped up with a show with Diamond Platnumz on the same day and in the same area,” Etana wrote. She also shared her disbelief at the situation, stating that it was clear her show had been poorly coordinated.
Etana continued by referencing an incident where a group of 50 people showed up at a media house to support Diamond. She noted that in Jamaica, large crowds are common, and such displays don’t intimidate her. “They must understand—in Jamaica, showing up with a lot of people is a common thing, so crowds don’t frighten me,” she added.
