Mbosso was expected to perform during Easter Festival at Ocean Beach Resort in Malindi on Saturday night. However, the singer did not perform as he had promised. 

He alerted his fans through social media that he was not going on stage that particular night, promising to expose the event organizers the following day (Sunday).

In a post on his Instagram account, Mbosso revealed that he failed to perform in Malindi after the event organizers crossed ways with his management.

The 'Hodari' hitmaker said the organizers could not meet the payment they had settled on, which forced his management to stop him from performing.

"Mambo yakaenda tofauti kutokana na makubaliano waliofanya baina ya waandaaji wa show na Management Yangu kwenye upande wa malipo kutotimiza ahadi zao na kwenda kinyume na tofauti na walivyokubaliana na kusainishana kwenye mikataba na uongozi Wangu, hivyo basi management yangu haikuweza kuniruhusu kufanya show pasipo kukamilika kwa malipo waliokubaliana (There was change of plans after the event organizers failed to keep what they had promised in terms of payment, this forced my management to cancel my performance," reads his post in part.

Mbosso has also asked his fans to forgive him for failing them when they needed him much. He said it was not his wish to fail them.

"Poleni sana Mashabiki wangu Muliotoka Sehemu mbalimbali kuja kujumuika nami najua ni kiasi gani mmejisikia vibaya ila sikuwa na budi nilazima nifate kanuni za uongozi (Am sorry my fans, you cancelled your plans to come and see me only for me to fail, it was not my wish)," he said.

The singer did not indicate if those who had paid for his show will be compensated or not.
