Nairobi, Kenya – The highly anticipated performance by Jamaican artist Shenseea at Uhuru Gardens was abruptly cut short due to chaos and security concerns. Just minutes into her set, Shenseea was escorted offstage by her security team as tensions escalated among fans trying to force their way into the venue without tickets.
The situation quickly deteriorated, prompting police intervention. Eyewitnesses reported that officers used teargas to disperse the crowd as they demanded Shenseea’s return. In a tweet expressing her frustration, Shenseea said, “Now, KENYA I’m a lil mad at y’all ngl,” highlighting her disappointment with the turn of events.
Her management has not yet commented on the incident, but many attendees are now seeking refunds for their tickets after being deprived of a full concert experience. This incident marks another setback for Shenseea in Kenya, as she had previously canceled an August show due to similar security issues.
The chaotic scene raises concerns about event management and safety protocols for artists performing in high-pressure environments.
