Multiple online sources have revealed that the Saturday night's "Mombasa Rocks Concert"
which had Chris Brown as the international headliner, was almost
disrupted after a clash between Wizkid and Tanzanian singer, Ali Kiba
over who would perform before the other.
It was gathered that the two superstars claimed to be the biggest
in terms of the fan base. Ali Kiba allegedly insisted that he would not
take to the stage before Wizkid, leading to a disagreement that
reportedly delayed the arrival of the main performer of the night, Chris
Brown.
Below is how The Nairobean News exclusively reported the story;
"Show of might and abrupt ending of performances marred
Saturday’s much hyped show that was headlined by American singer Chris
Brown, Nairobi News can reveal.
"Sources say that there was a standoff when Tanzania’s Alikiba declined to perform before Nigeria’s Wizkid.
“Kiba felt he is bigger in Kenya than Wizkid hence he could not
understand why he was scheduled to perform before,” said our source.
"In the end, Alikiba had his way, which saw him perform after Wizkid and just before Mr Brown. But
that was not all. It is alleged that Alikiba had time enough for just
three songs after which his performance was ended, to pave way for Mr
Brown.
"The Nairobi News understands that Mr Brown had pitched tent at
the Mombasa Golf Club – the venue of the event – from 9pm and had
requested to be on the stage by 11pm, since he had to fly out of the
country by Sunday, 3am.
"The organizers were also accused of failing to give value for money to people who had VIP tickets, bought at Sh20,000.
“Like during Wizkid’s performance, if you had a VIP ticket, you
could only see him partially. Some people holding VIP tickets had to
move to the arena where people with Sh5,000 tickets were standing,” said
a source.
"Mr Brown is said to have been paid Sh90 million for his 90-minute performance."
