Naira Marley fans in Cameroon ‘devastated’ as Valentines Day concert get cancelled by authorities at last minute
We just learnt that the concert of Nigerian Afropop superstar; Naira Marley, which was schedule to hold at Amusement Park in Limbe on Valentine’s day 14th February 2021, was cancelled at last minute by the local authorities.
On Saturday, 14th of February, 2021, Cameroonian rapper; Mic Monsta (one of the Cameroonian artist booked to perform at Naira Marley Valentines day concert in Limbe), took to his Facebook page to break the devastating news and audaciously hinted fans about the motive behind the cancellation.
According to Mic Monsta, Naira Marley’s show was cancelled by authorities because he’s a foreign artist.
Mic Monsta also frown at the fact that Naira Marley’s show was cancelled by authorities but Fally Ipupa’s show (which took place in Douala barely 3 days ago, wasn’t cancelled) and questioned if Fally is not also a foreign artist.
He wrote….
#NairaMarley show canceled by authorities.
I wonder if y’all dint see the Fally show or his not a foreign artist?
It should be noted that Naira Marley’s Valentines day show, was scheduled on the same “date” which KO-C’s home-coming concert was scheduled to be held in Kumba i.e. 14 February 2021.
“The Homecoming Concert” which brought together artistes such as Tzy Panchak, Kameni, Blaise B, Big G Baba, Mic Monsta etc… aimed at bringing the population of Kumba together to preach peace through their songs with hopes to put smiles on the faces of the population who have been braving several challenges as a result of the socio political situation in the region which has taken its toll on the city.
Many music business guru are of the opinion that the authorities may have cancelled Naira Marley’s show to prevent it from stealing the spotlight given the fact that majority of the Marlians in Cameroon are in Kumba.
Performing before a handful of people would have been an experience that would have demotivated any anglophone Cameroonian artist from coming up with a similar project in future.
Our ears are still on the ground. We shall bring you more information as the story unfolds.
