Isiolo, Kenya| Nairobi-based Marsabit artist Sakina Vybz has gone ham on the organizers of Sakuye Night event that is slated to take place on the 4th of December. Vybz who is locally famous for covering Oromo and Somali songs to perfection earning her tens of thousands in Youtube subscribers and millions in views with her notable works being songs such as Gurba Borana, a song that gets its tune from the popular somali song Quruxsana by.
The artist took to her tiktok this evening and did not take prisoners for lack of a better word. She accused the organizers, Sky Odha Group, of dishonesty, muddling her name and calling her names.
“As if that is not enough,” the artist wonders, “you still go ahead and market your event with my name in the local radio station”, Sakina rants in the local Afaan Oromoo dialect. The artist made it clear to her fans that she will not be performing at the event and has asked those who have committed to attend because of her purported presence not to do so.
The artist went on to allege that they had been unable to agree on the payment she was to receive if she were to perform at the event. She says she gave them her quotation of what she demands to be paid which she says they were unable to pay and that was the “end of the deal”, adds the artist.
Sakina further said that the event was not a “Sakuye cultural event” as the name suggests but a “Sky Odha Group fundraiser”.
