Divas are ruining gigs because free booze matters more than the actual music performance, as veteran singer Loyiso Bala slammed artists who refuse to hit the stage unless promoters provide specific high-end alcohol brands. He revealed on Facebook that performers recently boycotted their own shows over missing bottles of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Hennessy XO, Clase Azul, and Ace of Spades. The R&B crooner argued that some DJs submit hospitality riders resembling a shopping trip for twenty people rather than a simple backstage requirement.

Loyiso noted that managers often insert these clauses so the entourage can party on the promoter's dime even when the talent stays sober. He pointed out that acts frequently arrive late yet still waste time verifying the liquor stash while the crowd waits. The musician warned that this entitled behavior destroys longevity because the industry remembers who treats service provider contracts like royal decrees. Promoters already take massive financial risks without needing to fund an entire nightclub tab.
