The management of Xclusive Vista Entertainment, event organizers in Accra, are set to sue Sean Kingston - an American pop star - for not showing up for the 48th Republic Concert scheduled for the Accra International Conference Centre last Sunday, after all the arrangements to bring him down had been taken care of.

In a telephone interview with The Saturday Statesman, Mike, Director of the event, made it clear that his outfit had written a letter in respect of the intended suit to the management of Sean Kingston in the US.

He disclosed that part of the content of the letter was that Sean Kingston should refund the monies paid for the plane ticket, hotel booking, among other things.

According to him, one of Sean Kingston’s managers came down to Ghana to tell the management of Xclusive Vista Entertainment that Sean could not make it to the show because he was having Yellow fever, and that the mum insisted that he should not come to Africa without his vaccination, even though the management tried hard to bring him down and take the vaccination here.

Earlier, it was reported in some of the newspapers that Eugene Chinebuah, Manager of XVE had said that “Sean Kingston may come with his mother, who is interested in doing business in Africa”.

However, Lawrencia, who is also a member of the management of XVE, said “may be the media misquoted him because Sean’s mother at that time had just got out of jail and it was not possible for her to come to Africa”.

In an interview with some of Sean’s fans at the Conference Centre, they expressed disgust about their idol’s behaviour.

Kelvin Oppong said, “I am very disappointed in the management for not being able to bring Sean down; moreover, they were not bold enough to tell the fans about that”.

The organizers also disappointed me because “I bought my ticket at GH¢100 and my friend bought his at GH¢10. I think Xclusive Vista Entertainment has to do its home work well when it comes to bringing international artistes to Ghana”.

Joan also shared a similar experience. She said, ‘I think Xclusive Vista Entertainment has to do its home work well” She posited, “You can’t say you will start a programme at 7pm and start at 9:40pm without any good reason. Shift the programme from Saturday to Sunday could have been a good arrangement for making the show interesting, but what did we get? I bought advance ticket and indeed, I wish I sold it because I learnt that at a point, people were entering the Centre free, with the explanation that the auditorium had to be filled. I will say this is the worst programme I have attended this year”.
