Published on December 10, 2019, Jamaican dancehall singer Chris Martin has spoken out on reports of mugging incidents that occurred during his Big Deal Concert at Impala grounds in Nairobi.
Despite the challenges, Martin expressed his gratitude to his fans, saying they were the best despite the security issues.
“Now… I see a few reports about my concert in Nairobi this past weekend and how my performance was marred by muggers and the lack of proper security. Whilst performing I did see a few scuffles that threw me off but I didn’t know the magnitude of what was happening,” Martin tweeted.
He apologized to those affected and promised to return for another concert, which he promised would be bigger and better.
“Anyway… Nairobi you were the best despite it all and I had the time of my existence!!!! I will definitely be returning soon and we’re gonna have an even better time… unuh ready!?? Wait til mi comeback Love you all,” he tweeted.
Organizers, Umoja Splash Festivals, have already apologized for the security mishap, which allowed muggers to target revellers at the event.
