Upcoming sensational Kenyan music group Ethic has lost out on a lucrative opportunity after they were dropped from a much-anticipated concert dubbed Hype Fest.
The group, consisting of Swat, Zilla, Rekles and Seska were supposed to hit the stage at the concert but were cancelled last minute.
The sad new was first shared by the organisers of the event, Hype through their official Instagram account.
According to the orgsnisers, Ethic were dropped from the list of performers owing to a pending court case involving them.
“Due to ongoing legal issues regarding The Ethic Entertainment they will not be featuring at The Hype Fest,” Hype wrote on Instagram before deleting the post hours later.
The organisers did not really specify which court case they meant in their statement, but judging with the recent turn of events, it could be about Swat’s recent scandal.
It was earlier reported that, Swat, a member of the group was recently captured on video receiving a thorough caning from a crowd who seem to be pressuring him to speak, despite his evident pain.
However, the group through its official social media accounts put the rumours to rest with a statement claiming he was merely a victim of the everyday struggles of the youth residing in Eastlands area, Nairobi.
