Artist cancels show after promoters allegedly curse at her. Amapiano star Babalwa M broke her silence after backing out of the Itsoseng Delicious event on the Day of Goodwill, refuting claims she made excessive demands. She stated her withdrawal stemmed directly from the promoters' aggressive and unprofessional conduct on site, not any issue with performance riders or alcohol requests. Babalwa M claimed she endured verbal abuse, including being called crazy and sworn at, which made a safe, respectful environment impossible.
She clarified several points, noting she had agreed to a reduced performance fee. The singer also mentioned that an extra bottle of alcohol, referenced by organizers, was actually provided by her DJ's friend, not the event team. She highlighted a basic lack of hospitality, stating that no water was provided for her or her crew. Babalwa M framed her departure as a necessary boundary, comparing it to walking away from a bad retail transaction, and emphasized she issued a full refund before leaving. The award-winning artist apologized to fans who came to see her, calling the situation an isolated incident that highlights the need for mutual respect and professionalism in the industry.
