Koffi Olomide Faces Kenyan Backlash Over Kisumu 'Lip-Sync' Performance

Kenyans are expressing outrage over Koffi Olomide's highly anticipated concert in Kisumu, citing several shortcomings. During his performance, fans criticized the absence of a live band and the apparent lip-syncing by the star. To make matters worse, Koffi was seen streaming the event on his phone while on stage, raising concerns about his commitment to the show. The event began after 3 AM, and many fans were frustrated to find that the Congolese icon performed for only 10 minutes. Attendees felt the experience was overpriced and underwhelming, especially since VVIP tickets were sold for KSh 15,000. Many concert-goers took to social media to demand accountability from the organizers, Cape Media’s TV47 and Radio47, as well as Kisumu County officials. Videos of frustrated fans throwing objects onto the stage illustrate the growing dissatisfaction with poorly executed events within Kenya's entertainment scene. This incident has sparked a debate about performance quality and the treatment of audiences at premium-priced events.
