Buju's concert postponed

In early 2020, YEN.com.gh reported that Buju's Nairobi concert had been postponed after the death of Kenya's former president Daniel Arap Moi.

The reggae maestro's management issued a statement saying his performance had been postponed due to circumstances beyond their control.

Confirming the postponement, NRG Radio said it was because of the ongoing national mourning of the late president Daniel Moi.

The show was pushed two weeks forward and was held at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre, and the fans got exactly what they hoped for.
