KECHE FLOPS MISERABLY IN OBUASI

Fans of Keche inside Obuasi really dropped and flopped their artiste as they failed to turn up for their concert in the town.

According to sources inside Obuasi, the artiste with the ‘Aluguntugui’ hit could not get their cocoa season as their show saw less than 20 people at the venue.

18newspaper gathered that the event was scheduled to take place at Maclean’s a popular event spot in Obuasi and also serves as the center of the town hence hardly will an event go bad with that venue.

So what could have gone wrong for the cocoa season boys who are been managed by Spider Lee entertainment inside Obuasi? Well 18newspaper was told that Keche’s event lacked proper promotional campaign plus they postponed their show allowing Buk Bak to have their event before theirs hence Obuasi event attendees believed Keche was never going to show up.

18newspaper also gathered that, the show was a huge flop to the extent that the upcoming artistes billed to perform alongside Keche formed a circle to perform to each other just to entertain them.

We wish the artiste – Keche better luck next time and hope that they will do their home works well in order to get a good show!
