Local promoters took to social media to dismiss rumours that the trio coming to SA was a scam.Rumours circulated on social media that promoters were scamming fans and that Migos was not even coming to the continent.However, promotion company Mabala Noise has issued a statement to nervous South African fans assuring them Migos was coming next week.
South African fans were asked by local record label Mabala Noise to give the US trio local names and Twitter did not disappoint by giving Quavo the proudly South African name Qiniso Bhengu.
South African artist on the lineup for the concert will be multiple award winning hiphop artist AKA together with international King Kotini fashion icon Riky Rick. Durban’s biggest exports, the highly acclaimed rapper Nasty C, Afrotainment’s DJ Tira and dance sensation Wololo hitmaker Babes Wodumo will also be headlining the concert.Trap lovers can grab their tickets now on Computicket and Ticketpro which range from R350 to R790. @Zwane_2li2ls
