Congolese star Kanda Bongo Man failed to turn up for a show in Tanzania last weekend and the promoter, Adidi Bwanamoya Dodo a.k.a King Dodo is looking to sue.
The ‘he-said-she-said’ bitter accusations between the promoter and the performer have made for gossip fodder. King Dodo said he paid Kanda Bongo Man (or Kanda Conman as some call him) in full as per the contract and even sent him airline tickets. He says the star contrived to miss his flight and the next available one as well. He is now looking to sue the Lingala singer for his event’s company losing face with his sponsors after the no-show.
However, Kanda sent an email to Tanzanian blogger Sophia Kessy of African Bambata on Tuesday outlining the new travel plans subject to approval by King Dodo. It read: “From our telephone conversation we agreed that you Mr Adidi Bwanamoya Dodo will travel to Nairobi (Kenya) to pick up musicians four days to the show, also you will change my air ticket dated March 17 2009 from Manchester to Dar es salaam so that I arrive two days to the show which is on the March 20 2009. Kindly confirm this.”
Keep it here as it develops…
