He also stated that his poor performance could be attributed to the lack of connection between him and the audience due to the lighting system on stage.
The ’16-year-old’ songstress expressed her sincere regret for the unfortunate event, admitting that she failed to connect with the audience when she took to the stage with the intention of cheering them on due to circumstances beyond her control.
In a Facebook post Mzbel wrote: “To all the Mzbelievers who were disappointed in my performance at the recently concluded Afrochella 2022, I am deeply sorry and I am also disappointed that this is not the way we prepared to entertain you.
What happened was that I couldn’t hear myself and I couldn’t hear my music on stage so I kept shouting and trying my best to have fun but it was all rubbish. Also, the lights on the stage were just too strong for my fragile eyes, so I couldn’t see the crowd to interact properly.”
During the night other artists who performed included, Burna Boy, who turned the El-Wak Stadium into a chorus zone by inviting everyone to sing his songs.
