Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
The Onua Festival Train Beach Rave concert’s organizers, Hogbe Beach Rave, have apologized to patrons of their just concluded event for the headliner’s failure to perform as advertised.
According to the organizers, Onua Group and Ebony condoms, everything was set up for the Reggae Dancehall musician to perform on Saturday night after Shatta Wale and Captain Smart publicly confirmed the event on Onua TV in accordance with their earlier arrangement.
However, just like the concertgoers, they were shocked when Shatta Wale failed to appear on the grounds that evening.
Read the joint statement that the event’s organizers made below on November 6, 2022.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
6th November 2022, Tegbi, Volta Region:
Joint Statement – Onua TV/Onua FM and Ebony Condoms Apologise for Shatta Wale No Show at Hogbetsotso Festival Concert
The Managements of Onua Group and Ebony Condoms wish to express their regret and apologies to the thousands of people who thronged the Eli Beach Resort at Tegbi to be part of the Onua Festival Train Beach Rave concert at the 2022 Hogbetsotso Festival for the inability of the headline artiste to perform as publicised for 5th November, 2022.
Shatta Wale, who had been billed to perform as headline artiste and had agreed to do so, having signed a contract with the marketers of Ebony Condoms and subsequently appeared on Onua Maakye with Captain Smart to confirm his participation at the event was not available to perform.
It is interesting to note that Shatta Wale had showed up at the venue of the concert in vehicles rented for him and his team by the organizers yet could not be found afterwards. All efforts by both managements to get him to come to the concert grounds to perform to the waiting crowd proved futile.
It is in view of this that we wish to apologise to the audience and customers who traveled from far and near to see him perform at the Eli Beach and to the millions who stayed up late to watch him on Onua TV.
Onua brands, Ebony Condoms and all other brands and sponsors associated with the Onua Hogbetsotso Beach Rave wish to thank all the other artistes who honoured their obligations to show up and perform.
The brands connected with the Beach Rave will find ways to compensate the patrons who showed up at the event.
