Adding to his string of missed concerts, Momo was unable to take the stage at the tribute concert in honour of struggle icon Oliver Tambo.

Scheduled for 23 December 2025 in Bizana, Eastern Cape, fans of the star were left utterly disappointed when Momo failed to arrive for his set.

In a recent public statement, the Abo Gogo hitmaker's management claimed logistical failures resulted in the DJ missing the concert.

"Despite all efforts made to arrive on time, Kelvin missed his first scheduled flight due to unexpected traffic delays. A second flight was immediately booked. However, this flight also experienced delays. This ultimately made it impossible for him to reach the venue in time for the performance."

The statement further emphasised the weight of the incident, noting that the no-show was especially regrettable given the event’s status as a tribute to the legacy of Oliver Tambo.

Meanwhile, patience among fans is wearing thin as the Bizana incident is not an isolated incident.

In May, the Amapiano sensation faced a multi-million-rand lawsuit after allegedly failing to pitch for a scheduled show in Australia, and it's clear that he has yet to learn his lesson.

akanyangm said:

"Kelvin Momo should invest in honouring contractual obligations, including showing up at shows booked and paid for - which he has a habit of not honouring at all -instead of releasing long albums as if he’s dying. He is the most unprofessional DJ!"
