A week ago, Juliana Kanyomozi was announced as one of the performers at the Soul & RnB Safari Uganda Baileys Picnic in her presence at a press conference held at Club Guvnor.
The songbird promised her fans one of the biggest performances.
However, a day later, Juliana took to her social media platforms with a post announcing that she would not perform something that left the fans frustrated. “
“I deeply regret to communicate that I will not participate in the marketed Soul & RnB Safari due to gaps in alignment between the parties involved. I am however humbled by the overwhelmingly positive response and promise to make it up to you in the near future. We wish the promoter all the success at the event. Juliana Kanyomozi.” Her post read.
The organizers were quick to respond through a statement that read, “It’s been brought to the attention of the Soul-R&B Safari and to the Sponsors and Partners, that there is a social media post by Ms. Juliana Kanyomozi stating that she’s pulled out of the Soul-R&B Safari.
We categorically state that the organizers and sponsors did not receive so much as a courtesy phone call from the Artist or her management before they posted this statement on social media.
Ideally, it should have been the event organizers to release this statement, not the Artist who was already financially committed and booked to feature at the festival.
The ideal protocol should have been we being informed first, then given the chance to settle and fill in these missing “gaps in alignment”, or whatever it is she says or feels wasn’t already aligned.
We did everything we were asked to do before we organized the press conference to launch the event. Indeed, the artiste addressed the press conference, committing to perform. We are shocked and disappointed by the sudden change of heart.
However, the Music must play on regardless of this unfortunate occurrence. We shall soon announce other exciting artists to join BlackRoots Academy Of Soul as joint headliners of The Soul-R&B Safari Baileys Picnic, taking place on Saturday 07th May 2022 at Kampala Serena Hotel Gardens. We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused; it wasn’t our intention nor doing. Thank you for your patience and understanding.” Their statement read.
We shall keep you posted.
