Femi Kuti was scheduled to perform at The Headies 2012 Awards which took place last week Saturday but many were surprised when the show ended without the musician showing up. Femi who was also to be given the Hall of Fame award stayed behind at the New Afrika Shrine where the recently concluded Felabration 2012.
According to NET, a source close to the Kuti family revealed that the organizers of The Headies 2012 Awards and Kuti’s managers couldn't reconcile last minute differences.
‘They were meant to pay Shoki shoki (Femi) some balance for logistics but as at Saturday evening we hadn’t received the money, so he stayed back at the Shrine for Felabration‘, a source said.
The Headies doesn't pay musicians to perform at the event and this is the first time a Hall of Fame inductee will shun the event.
