Amapiano star Kelvin Momo has attributed his recent absences from performances at Café 69, Piano Hub, and Makubenjalo to unforeseen health issues.
On Monday, Kelvin Momo expressed regret for the missed shows in a heartfelt statement on Instagram, explaining that he had fallen ill, which forced his team to prioritise his recovery over the highly anticipated events.
“We understand the excitement and anticipation surrounding these events and are deeply sorry for any disappointment this may have caused,” the statement read.
However, this is not the only challenge Momo is facing.
Ace Events recently filed papers in the Johannesburg High Court in which it is seeking the liquidation of the prolific music producer’s company, Kelvin Momo Production.
Failure to perform in Australia
According to the papers, the DJ’s stable has failed to pay the promoters more than R2.8m in refunds and damages due to his failure to perform at the shows Down Under in 2024.
In the court documents that we have seen, Ace Events director Million Mwenge Butshiire stated that they entered into a contract with Kelvin Momo, real name Thato Kelvin Ledwaba, and his right-hand man, Devon Peterson, to organise what they called the “Kelvin Momo Australian Tour 2024”, where he would go and entertain music lovers.
In terms of the agreement, Butshiire stated that Kelvin Momo was supposed to do a live performance in Melbourne on November 2 for 60 minutes and in Perth on November 3 for the same duration.
They also agreed that if he failed to show up, they would reschedule him to go and perform within three months of any postponement and cancellation.
In April 2024, Momo missed a performance in Zambia because of a conflicting gig in Limpopo.
