South African music producer and DJ, Kelvin Momo, is back in the news for missing a booked performance.
Sun City Resorts, on Saturday, had to rush into crisis mode when, at the eleventh hour, Kelvin Momo ditched them for their Outside event.
In a statement, Sun City Resorts shared with attendees that Kelvin Momo would not perform at the event as scheduled, after not arriving for the show despite being contracted, booked and paid for.
“Neither Momo nor his manager have responded to any of Sun City’s requests for an update. We, along with our partners, have exhausted every avenue possible to ensure that he performs,” read the statement.
The DJ has garnered a reputation for not showing up for his booked gigs. Before his Red Bull Symphonic show, fans were anxious about whether he would make the gigs, as he had missed three scheduled performances.
At the time, Momo’s management team released a statement acknowledging the missed gigs, but they have been mum about Kelvin Momo missing the Sun City Resorts performance.
The Outside event was, however, saved by Murdah Bongz, who performed. The DJ and musician is signed to the same management, TSquared Productions, as Kelvin Momo.
In a statement shared on X, Kelvin Momo acknowledged missing out on the Sun City Resort performance and apologised for the disappointment caused by his non-attendance.
"There were unforeseen circumstances and miscommunications that led to my absence and I acknowledge that I should have responded more promptly and transparently to all parties involved. I am working closely with my team to ensure that something like this does not happen again in the future."
In July, TSquared Productions released a statement informing fans of a booking scam being perpetrated by HDS Concepts or Devon, which was accepting false bookings, emphasizing that the claims were false and misleading.
The team further clarified that all legitimate bookings and engagements for Momo go through them (TSquared Productions), and warned fans and promoters to verify any inquiries through official channels.
