Roki Leicester Show Marred By Bad Publicity

The Leicester show featuring Zimbabwe’s music star Roki is currently underway with a poor turn out of about 69 people at 02.00am. It is alleged that one online UK based paper published incorrect information without speaking to either Roki or any of the promoters based in the UK.
Mad-boys Promotions promoter Kithlitan Mawarire poured his heart out to ZIMDiaspora.
“The online paper has destroyed our reputation by publishing a story stating that Roki’s band had been denied visas to the UK. The truth is we never applied for visas for Roki’s band because we already have a backing band for Roki. Nottingham based Gentlemans band is backing Roki.The paper claimed they got the information from a paper based in Zimbabwe. The paper is alleged to have published a story stating Roki’s band was denied visas. The UK based online paper did not speak to any of my team and Roki has denied having spoken to them. We have been making contact with the UK online paper requesting them to pull down their story or make the necessary corrections since Thursday but they did not do so and they have all stopped picking our calls. A follow up story has however been done but it has not corrected the damage” said a furious Mawarire.
“Bad publicity has killed our show after the hard work we put into it” added Mawarire.
Other members of Mad -Boyz Promotions Alex Mutoro and Malcolm Kafesu have also expressed their disappointment.
The fans at Leicester Starlite De Venue are enjoying the music from supporting artists as they wait for Roki and EsQ to come onstage. Next on stage will be Boyz Retonaz.
Madboys Promotions have appealed to their loyal fans and those who love music to come out in their large numbers for the shows in Manchester to be held Saturday September 15 and Sunday September 16 in London.
