Nigerian songstress Tiwa Savage was on Monday morning ‘stranded’ in her hotel over unpaid bills. The Nigerian singer came to Nairobi to perform at the launch of Redsan’s album ‘Baddest‘ last Saturday at the Carnivore grounds.
The pop queen posted on Twitter how her phone was literally blowing up with calls from the promoters before the show and afterwards they were nowhere to be seen.
“Checking out of the hotel and full accommodation not paid for, no car to take us to the airport and promoters want to talk trash about artists. Funny how everyone is asleep and phones are off after the show but they blow up your phone when they need you for radio and press runs before the show,” she wrote.
The events led to widespread criticism of Kenyans Promoters from their fellow contrymen on Social Media.

48 hours of shame
This #TheBaddest album launch keeps getting murkier by the hours. It went from, 'The biggest, baddest' to complaints about sound and horrible performances by Demarco and now major act Tiwa Savage hajalipiwa hoteli. All in 48 hours.
