Young Stunna is under fire with his fans in Zimbabwe after missing another gig.

The Adiwele hitmaker was scheduled to perform at the Amapiano Explosion event in Harare, Zimbabwe, on 9 August 2025 alongside Sha Sha, but the event ended in tears and disappointment for many fans.

H-Metro reveals that things took a wild turn after supporters learned that Young Stunna would not be pitching at the event.

Fans who had been waiting since early in the afternoon for the star's show reacted angrily, reportedly hurling bottles towards the stage and damaging property.

According to a statement, an "unforeseen family emergency" forced Stunna to bail out on the event:

"It is with much regret that we announce the postponement of my performances this weekend due to an unforeseen family emergency. We understand this may have caused great inconvenience for the promoter, sponsors and the fans; therefore, we truly apologise."

However, his apology fell on deaf ears as many accused him of showing disregard for his Zimbabwean supporters, and apparently, it wasn't the first time.

The South African reports that in 2023, Stunna was a no-show at the Shorts and Shades event in Bulawayo. His absence allegedly sparked a similar reaction, with angry fans throwing objects onto the stage.

Previously, Briefly News reported on former Murumba Pitch member Khathutshelo Mangolo being booed off the stage during his performance in Zimbabwe, with some people hurling objects at him.
