Not much to be said. Promoters knew from 3 weeks ago when we were to arrive (after request to change from10PM).

We communicate with the promoters. Not artists who bully us to get off stage when stage manager said we should setup.

If Black Coffee had slapped AKA, he'd probably be the new president of SA… #ThankYouBlackCoffee
