Former Citizen TV presenter Willis Raburu and organizer of Furaha City Festival has revealed why Diamond Platinumz did not perform as planned.
Through a statement, Raburu noted that all plans and contingencies were in place to ensure a seamless performance but the demands from him and his tea were unnecessarily overbearing.
“We deeply regret to announce that Diamond Platinumz did not perform at the Furaha City Festival as scheduled. As organizers, we made every effort to accommodate him and his team, ensuring that all plans and contingencies were in place for a seamless experience. Despite our best efforts, his team behaviour and demands proved regrettable and unnecessarily overbearing,” he said
He continued by acknowledging a minor security issue involving another artist which was resolved as he assured equality when treating artists.
According to Willis Raburu, they respect Diamond Platinumz as a top-tier artist but expect professionalism when dealing with matters collaboration.
“We respect Diamond Platinumz’s position as a top-tier artist, but we also expect mutual professionalism and respect in such collaborations. Moving forward, we are committed to resolving these matters amicably and learning from this experience to ensure even greater success for future editions of Furaha City Festival,” he said
Commotion at the event began when Willy Paul wanted to take stage before Diamond Platinumz only for his team to insist that he should come after the Tanzanian artist something that did not seat well with Willy Paul.
Willy Paul managed to get himself on stage something that angered Diamond’s crew prompting him to leave the venue.
