The much hyped Malindi Easter Festival which was supposed to be headlined by Tanzania music star Mbosso last evening at the Ocean Beach Resort Malindi flopped.

The show recorded a low turn out to make it worse two of the main acts Mbosso and Susumila failed to perform.

In an interview with Ommy Dallah Mbosso's manager Sandra revealed that the organisers failed to pay the agreed fee thus there was no reason for her artist to perform .

"The show flopped.The organisers failed to go by what we had agreed on in terms of payment" said Sandra. 

A source told Ommy Dallah that the organisers were supposed to pay Mbosso a remaining amount of sh 250,000 before he takes to the stage.

"I'm not sure about the whole amount they had agreed on but I know Mbosso's management was asking for the remaining amount of sh 250,000 so he can perform but the organisers failed to pay and he did not perform " said the source.

Adding " Susumila also did not perform since they were supposed to pay him his remaining amount of sh 75,000 but they did not. They had agreed to pay Susumila a total amount of sh 150,000, they had already paid him the down payment".

Mbosso took to social media to apologise to his Malindi fans for the disappointment criticising the organisers calling on event organisers to make sure that they always stick to the terms of agreement and pay artists.

"Tafadharini sana waandaji wa shows jitahidini kukamilisha malipo ya msanii kana munavyokubaliana na uongozi wake maana munatuingiza kwenye changamoto kubwa sana na mashabiki zetu(Event organisers, please make sure you pay artists as to the agreement, avoid putting us into problems with our fans)" posted
