Busta 929 claims he missed his flight
The star broke his silence following massive backlash from his fans in Zimbabwe. He noted that he missed the flight that's why he could not attend Munch and Sip. One of the team members said:
"We missed our flights; however, we did check in though, but immigration lines were long, hence we missed our flight."
Speaking exclusively to Briefly News, Busta said he could not fly to Zimbabwe because his full balance was not paid. The star stated that the agreement was to have his payment upfront, but the promoter disappointed him and asked to change the dates. He said:
"He said he would pay the balance when we got to the airport, we went to the airport we checked in then after checking in he told us stories we told him straight that we couldn't fly without the balance. And he said that they request for another date that’s what we know."
Briefly News also spoke to Patrice Syabonga who claimed to be the Zimbabwean agent liaising with Busta 929 and his team. He noted that the payment issue was resolved amicably.
"Hey am the agent for that Zim gig the payment issue has been handled with the client I spoke to her this morning."
