"Even the weather doesn’t want this boy to perform Mketheni kimimi ngizominika I-Sage (impepho)."

@mz_keamo commented:

"I guess if he can’t play at an event, then it extends to all other locations as well."

@xthewholetime1 reacted:

"I know my goat was probably happy, so he can go home and play his PS5."

@Snt_Papillon replied:

"Aphi Amanga ami, Kelvin has the codes; he gets paid for a name on poster."

@Asa_khe said:

"He was probably on some, 'Yeah, this is what I want'."

"These are the tears of all those promoters he has given false hope to."

"Payback for not pitching at other events."

"Yep, Sizwe called it. Promoters don’t play like that. Look at their gods!"
