In April 2018, American Rapper William Leonard Roberts II popularly known as Rick Ross sent organizers of his Kenyan show in a frenzy after tabling a list of demands that were nearly impossible to pull off.
His management was determined to make sure that the ‘Boss’ is accorded treatment befitting his A-List status upon landing in Nairobi.
Fast forward to 2019. Self-declared president of Single Mothers Esther Akoth aka Akothee has also tabled a list of crazy demands ahead of her performance at this year’s Luo festival scheduled on August 31, 2019 at Carnivore grounds.
