Stevo and his new signee Machabe who were determined to make their first trip abroad cancelled over travel arrangements hiccup.
In a five-minute video posted on Instagram this Saturday, September 21, 2024, Stevo and Machabe expressed their utter dissatisfaction with the travel arrangements made by the Saudi promoter.
According to Stevo, they had agreed on business class tickets, but to their dismay, they were handed economy class seats instead.
“Mlikuwa mnatarajia tusafiri kesho, lakini kuna vitu ambavyo haviko sawa. Tuliagree watutumie ndege ya business class lakini wakatuma economy class,” Stevo stated.
The displeasure didn’t stop there as the two went on to explain that there was some serious confusion about their accommodation as well.
“Alafu pia hawajaclarify vizuri tunaenda kulala kwa hoteli gani. They are not communicating,” Machabe chimed in, clearly unimpressed.
They went on to fault the gig promoter for not communicating and sticking to agreements that were made prior.
They acknowledged being paid a deposit for the Arab nation’s performance. However, they firmly said they were ready to refund the money back if the promoter didn’t reach out and clarify their concerns. The two threatened that if the ticket mishap isn’t sorted out, they will have to stay grounded.
“Of course they sent us a deposit for the gig. If they do not communicate clearly, we will have to refund the deposit because we can’t make away with people’s money,” the artistes firmly stated.
“We are not comfortable travelling in economy class. The agreement was business class.”
