A Nigerian promoter who invited Fada Moti and his team to South Africa has confirmed that he cancelled their return tickets after a dispute over payment.

According to the promoter, the artists left their hotel on Sunday morning for an unauthorised show, which he was unaware of. When he demanded R6,000 from the organizers as compensation, they refused, leading him to cancel their return flight.

As a result, reports indicate that Fada Moti and his team are now returning to Malawi by bus. The artists have yet to share their side of the story.
