Busta 929, real name Thapelo Ndou disappointed his Zimbabwe fans due to a no-show at a gig on December 31.
The organisers of the event and the producer’s team are in conflict over a R100 000 refund.
Sunday World revealed that the DJ was booked as the main act for the Munch and Sip food festival in Bulawayo.
The organisers said: “They assured us that they were excited to come to Zimbabwe, a poster and marketing strategy was put into place, and we took the backlash on our strides, especially because of Busta 929 controversies.”
“We continued and stood by the decision we had made, and we were required to pay everything in full and because of exchange rates he then explained that we were short by R5 000, and we sent it the day before he was supposed to travel,” they added.
When the organisers announced that Busta 929 wouldn’t come for the show, the crowd threw bottles and caused some damage.
