Jamaican Dancehall star Konshens has come out to defend Shenseea from the wrath of Kenyans following her short-lived performance at Raha Fest on 31st of December 2o24.
In his defense, Konshens argued that Shenseea’s security was at risk and her being rushed off stage was the right thing to do for her team.
Konshens who was answering a fan started by saying; "She's not even American"? That comment alone explains your mindset
So her security rushed her offstage MID SONG because of a security risk and she acting like she is better than you?? Ur right, she should have ignored the people assigned to ensure her safety and risked her life.
"You think being an artiste makes her wonder woman, she is a girl!! You come to Jamaica or your beloved America and your security tells you to move and you stand up like you tuff and see what tf happens to you.
He went on to state that no matter what critics say, Kenyan fans have a right to choose who to support.
“SHUT UP FAM!! My Kenyan people are smart you can’t twist dem brain with divisive narrative, She didn't even leave after the show, she stayed in KENYA... why is there always this convo about artistes coming to Kenya, dont Kenyan artistes go on Tour in other countries?? Get over it. KENYA loves Global,”
“Music and global musicians Love Kenya. And don’t ever try Diss Jamaica nuh time!!,”.
Shenseea in Kenya
The event, held at Nairobi's Uhuru Gardens, was set to be a memorable fusion of music, culture, and celebration.
However, the night took a chaotic turn, marked by crowd control issues, teargas disruptions, and low turnout.
By the time Shenseea took the stage at 2 a.m., the air was heavy with both anticipation and uncertainty.
The "Lighter" hitmaker began her set with electrifying energy, sending waves of excitement through the crowd.
Yet, her performance lasted a mere seven minutes before another teargas incident forced her to exit the stage abruptly. She was actually whisked away by her security detail.
Taking to Twitter Shenseea said she is disappointed by what happened at Raha Fest; “Now, KENYA ????? I'm a lil mad at y'all ngl,”.
Fans were left stranded and disappointed after Shenseea was whisked away - many trying to understand what had just happened.
The chaotic scenes outside the venue mirrored the challenges within. Large groups of fans who hadn’t secured tickets overwhelmed security personnel, determined to experience the highly-publicized event.
The heavy-handed response by law enforcement, while aimed at restoring order, further exacerbated the situation, creating an atmosphere of fear and frustration.
