Jamaican reggae artist Etana was forced to cancel her show in Kenya on Saturday, December 7, after it overlapped with Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz’s performance.

In a statement on Saturday, Etana alleged that someone was determined to ensure that her show tonight is sabotaged.

Etana stated that she was informed the two events could not take place at the same time, as both were happening at same locations.

“I am not happy about the sabotage and let me be clear I am not showing up at Platinumz show!! It’s all good!” she said.

Etana Speaks After Show is Canceled

Here is the full statement

“My show on December 7 was being promoted long before someone popped up with a show with diamond platinums on the same day and in the same area.

Then soon after that I heard their show was postponed then yesterday; they showed up 50 strong 10/10 citizen tv media house which they must understand – in Jamaica to show up with a lot of people is a common thing so crowd nuh frighten me.

Then all of a sudden, I am hearing the two shows cannot be held in the SAME AREA from the authorities and my show tonight cannot happen. All this politics and drama for one girl. I wonder who is behind it all. Why you so afraid of one show and one woman?

K24 and the promoters of the event will announce regarding tickets purchased. They were so very afraid of the turn out they tried everything to cause disruption. When it did not work they blocked the event with the authorities. There is more that can be said but I am me so I will say no more.”
