Sizwe Dhlomo’s Stark Warning to Kelvin Momo: ‘Don’t Gamble with Your Gigs’

On social media platform X, Dhlomo openly addressed the DJ’s recent pattern of missed performances.

“Someone should warn Kelvin Momo. Some promoters don’t play that. It’s a very dangerous game he’s playing. A missed gig is not just about the money you’re paid, people commit millions to their events,” he wrote.

This statement follows shortly after Kelvin Momo failed to show at the Mamalisa event in Polokwane, much to the dismay of fans and event organizers.

At that time, the DJ’s team issued a statement explaining that their absence was due to unforeseen issues regarding fuel availability.

“Dear Fans and Stakeholders, we would like to extend our heartfelt apologies to all stakeholders, fans, and everyone who was looking forward to seeing Kelvin Momo perform at the Mamalisa event in Polokwane,” the statement stated.

They elaborated on the attempts made to acquire diesel prior to the event, which included several trips to different petrol stations, but ultimately, their efforts were in vain.

“Unfortunately, Kelvin Momo was unable to attend due to unforeseen fuel shortages. Despite the efforts made by him and his team, who visited multiple petrol stations, they were unable to secure diesel in time and ultimately had to make the difficult decision to return home.”

Organizers of the event also expressed their regrets, assuring attendees that plans to reschedule the DJ’s performance are underway.

While some understanding was afforded to the explanation, the increasing number of no-shows has begun to attract attention within the music industry, and Dhlomo’s remarks underscore the stakes when artists do not fulfill their engagements.
