On Friday afternoon, American rapper 2 Chainz (right) told his Kenyan fans that he failed to show up for Saturday’s Jameson Live party due to “travel” related issues. He wrote: “To all my fans in Kenya, I will not be coming today but we are rescheduling to DEC 12... They gettin my travel right as we speak TRU (sic)”Sources close to the organisers tell Word Is, that the Birthday Song and Feds Watching hitmaker “allegedly demanded a private jet to fly him and his crew to Nairobi”.
Apparently, the organisers had “purchased air tickets for him and his crew but his reps demanded that they send cash over instead to make their own travel arrangements.”
2 Chainz missed two flights before he eventually gave out a statement hours before his Saturday show saying he will not make it.
A press statement from the main sponsors, Jameson, stated their regret in “rescheduling of the 2Chainz appearance at the Jameson Live Party on Saturday, November 1st 2014. Due to unavoidable circumstances beyond Jameson’s control, 2 Chainz is unable to travel. The headline act is confirmed to perform in Nairobi, Kenya on the weekend of December 12, 2014 at Ngong Racecourse.”
To assuage the disappointment of fans, Jameson promised that all ticket holders will be given entry to the Jameson Live Party on November 1, as well as complimentary entry to the 2Chainz performance on the weekend of December 12th 2014.
Angry fans took to social media to express their disappointed. One wrote, “You failed us. You failed Nairobi.” Another branded the rapper a “Black Unicorn.” While another claimed “ 2 Chainz is SDA”.
At the time of going to press, 2 Chainz’ website had not posted the new December concert dates on the official website.
