You know Dbanj organized his Koko concert last year which received a lot of back lash because of the distance people had to trek inorder to get to the venue. This year,the concert isn't going to hold.
According to Dbanj, he cancelled it in honour of late Nelson Mandela (‘Hey Kokolets,the yearly Koko Concert has been cancelled because of the Madiba Legacy Concert happening tomorrow at the Ocean View event center!!‘,.)but Nigerian Tribune reports otherwise
Contrary to report on tweeter that Koko Concert for this year was cancelled by D’Banj in honour of the late Nelson Mandela, an artiste manager has described the story as a lie.
Rather, it is because the concert was not able to get sponsorship support as planned by the Kokomaster.
In a phone call by R to him on Friday morning, the manager of one of the hottest musician in the country right now said D’Banj had admitted to my artiste that he was having problem getting a sponsor and would not hold the concert if his attempts at getting one fails. He spent a lot of money in bringing Idris Elba and others to the country last year and does not want to do so alone this year. So, when I read on tweeter that he said he was cancelling the concert to honour Mandela, I just laughed at the PR-driven lie’, he said.
D’Banj himself made the cancellation announcement on his Twitter account, explaining that the yearly concert was cancelled because the ‘Madiba Legacy Concert‘, which held on December 18, 2013 at The Oceanview Restaurant, Victoria Island, Lagos.
“D’banj’s reason for cancelling the event does sound very cheeky as we wonder how a one-day tribute concert (which he clearly did not put together) would stop him from holding his own show this December, wrote a disgruntled fan, Ay.
He has, however, promised to make it up to his fans by hosting three ‘Koko Parties’ this yuletide season.
‘Not to worry, I’m hosting 3 Koko parties this season for my dear fans’, D’Banj added
