For him, it seems he rubbed his Zambian fans the wrong way, just at the Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, upon his arrival for the much publicised concert \u2013 with what is being called a cold shoulder treatment. The Nigerian angered music lovers when he refused to receive flowers from a lady upon arrival and the Buga hit-maker also refused to take questions from journalists at the airport. Now, with Zambians, that\u2019s something that doesn\u2019t get swept under the carpet as if nothing had happened \u2013 it was the song of town, especially social media the whole time.<\/p>\n<p>A video showing the musician snubbing the woman and members of the press went viral on social media soon after, with many calling the artiste all sorts of names while calling for an apology or risk a total boycott of the show. The organisers, Try Lounge Pub and Grill, quickly organised a press briefing where the artiste gave his side of the story \u2013 call it an apology if you like.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
