Juliana Kanyomozi Explains Why She Pulled Out Of Upcoming Concert

Posted by: Eninu William in Entertainment April 26, 2022

Many fans of songstress Juliana Kanyomozi were so excited that they were finally going to see her perform on stage after a very long time.

This is after she was one of the artistes lined up to perform at the Jazz Safari concert. However, the singer, unfortunately, pulled out of the concert and has now revealed why. The Nabikoowa singer says that she was lied to by the organizer of the show Shaka Ssali.

Juliana said that she was told that this was going to be a private party of about 200 people. It however shocked her when she received a call to come and attend a press conference.

She added that after this development, her manager contacted the show organizers. They had a detailed conversation and wondered why Shaka lied to them.

“The problem arose when what they told me while booking my services differed from what they were advertising. When he called us, he told us he had a small invite-only function of about 200 people and wanted me to perform about 4 to 5 songs. When he asked us to go for a press conference, it didn’t make sense but we attended out of courtesy. However, upon reaching the press conference, we realized that it wasn’t a private event anymore and it had turned into a big concert. There were tickets being sold at Shs120k.

When the press conference ended, my manager contacted him because it didn’t make sense to make a scene at the presser.

My manager had a back and forth conversation with him, asking him to change the posters to what we had agreed upon but he refused. So we sent out the post (on Instagram) after deciding and telling him that we had pulled out of the event,” Juliana said.

Juliana added that Shaka Ssali wondering why she announced pulling out of the concert via social media doesn’t make sense because they talked with him and he failed to rectify his shortcomings.

“We informed the organizer before posting on social media. And we did it because we didn’t want him to say we hadn’t informed him. It’s actually us who never understood anything he was doing,” Juliana added.

She also addressed rumors that she might soon be having a concert of her own in the same place, Club Guvnor.

Juliana said that the rumors might be true but it’s not the reason she pulled out of the concert. The poor coordination of events in this concert is why she threw in the towel.

“It (organizing a concert) may be true but it has got nothing to do with this. What made us clash with Shaka, a man I respect so much, is the uncoordinated organization of this event in particular.

You have to think about me as well. I have built my brand for many years. I can’t put it at risk especially if someone does not respect me,” Juliana concluded.

Shaka Ssali however revealed that Juliana pulling out of the concert won’t stop it. It will go ahead as other artistes will perform.
