Tony Dayimane’s Five-Star Dreams Turn to a Nightmare With Concert Drama

• Tony Dayimane is said to have had a weekend from hell after a promoter failed to meet his demands
• The rapper reportedly requested five-star treatment after being booked for a concert, but his rider was apparently ignored
• This comes weeks ahead of Dayimane's forthcoming project, and fans are eager to hear what he's cooked up

Poor Tony Dayimane was apparently not treated like royalty at a recent event, much to his surprise.

Promoter allegedly gives Tony Dayimane the cold shoulder

It has been reported that rapper Tony Dayimane did not receive the king treatment he expected from concert promoters.

According to TshisaLIVE, the Skuta Baba hitmaker was booked to perform at a show in Pietermaritzburg, the Coolest in the City Festival on 28 June 2025, but things took a turn when the promoter did not meet his list of demands, which included booking him into a five-star hotel and fetching him from the airport.

"He began ordering the organiser to book him into a hotel in Umhlanga and demanded to be fetched from King Shaka Airport."

Apparently, this couldn't be done, but that wasn't the end of it. Later on, after his performance, instead of being treated to a comfortable five-star hotel, Dayimane was moved to a modest bed and breakfast, and sources allege he was "fuming."

Meanwhile, despite all the drama, TshisaLIVE reports that the organiser had nothing but positive things to say about the concert, and looks forward to working with Dayimane in the future.

The scandal comes a month ahead of Dayimane's upcoming project, Big Boy II, and who knows, we might get to hear his side of the story.
